About Lagan Valley Hospital UCC
Lagan Valley Hospital is on Hillsborough Road in Lisburn, County Antrim, operated by the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust. The on-site Urgent Care Centre is a consultant-led "Phone First" service operating Mon-Fri 8am-6pm only — patients must call 028 9260 4643 before attending so a clinician can assess and either offer an appointment, refer on to a pharmacy or GP, or direct you to a full Emergency Department. The UCC is closed at weekends and overnight. The hospital's consultant-led 24-hour Accident & Emergency service was reduced in 2011 and the site now provides urgent care (within UCC hours), outpatient clinics, day surgery and diagnostic imaging. For life-threatening emergencies — and for any urgent problem outside UCC hours — call 999 or attend the Emergency Department at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald or the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. Current Lagan Valley Hospital UCC waiting times are tracked here in real time, sourced from the NIdirect average ED waiting-times feed and the South Eastern HSC Trust.
