Care Areas
Patients are directed to one of four dedicated areas according to their triage category. The Resuscitation Area (Blue Area) houses five state-of-the-art customised resuscitation cubicles ("ResCue") for the immediate stabilisation of patients with an immediate threat to life (Priority 1) or who cannot wait for care (Priority 2). The Critical Care (Red Area) is a fully equipped, ICU-like facility with ventilators, advanced monitoring, and emergency renal replacement therapy for patients requiring continued stabilisation. The Yellow Area serves less acute patients with multiple resource requirements (Priority 3), while the Green Area handles patients requiring single or no resources (Priority 4 and 5).
