Nobody wants to be ill
or suffer an injury during their holidays but it is vital that you
know who to contact should the worst happen.
To call an ambulance in Belfast dial 999. 112 may also be used
as an alternative. Using 999 can also alert the fire brigade, police,
cave rescue, mountain rescue and coastguard services. You should state
who you need when the operator prompts you.
The main accident and emergency hospital in Belfast is called
City Hospital [map]
and can be found at Lisburn Road. If you find yourself closer
to East Belfast you can use the hospital in Bangor at Castle Street
but you will only be able to go there if you have minor injuries.
For emergency situations in that area you should contact the Ulster
Hospital [map],
Upper Newtonards Road, Dundonald.
