Find out how to refer patients directly to our ambulatory emergency care service.

GPs

Local GPs can refer patients with a wide range of presumed conditions directly to our ambulatory emergency care units, providing patients are stable and mobile. 

Our AEC opening hours are as follows:

Monday through Friday: 08.00 to 22.00
Saturday through Sunday: 08.00 to 20.00

To refer a patient, call the relevant AEC unit.

Charing Cross Hospital: 020 3313 0734
St Mary’s Hospital: 020 3312 3196

Patients who have been referred to our AEC must present at A&E reception, where they will be directed to the AEC unit. Patients cannot self-refer to AEC.
