The ED sees approximately 40–70 patients per 24-hour period, with most presentations being lower acuity while still offering opportunities to manage complex medical cases. Major trauma is rare.
Physicians work alongside a collaborative interdisciplinary team that includes a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, experienced nursing staff, physiotherapy, a Geriatric Emergency Management Nurse, ward clerks, and 24/7 administrative support. New physicians also benefit from strong mentorship from a supportive local physician group, as well as access to the Emergency Department Peer-to-Peer Program, available 24/7.
