Acute services boss at Altnagelvin, Geraldine McKay, says new self-check-in kiosks at A&E will help improve triage, minimise delays and signpost patients to the appropriate care stream at the hospital.

She made the comments after the hospital installed the new easy-to-use self-streaming system for checking in and reporting their condition using a touch screen kiosk.

“As part of the Western Trust’s commitment to the Unscheduled Care Improvement programme, the Trust strives to find ways in which to modernise its services in line with evidence-based practice and research in efforts to ensure that up to 95% patients complete their emergency care journey within four hours,” said Ms McKay.
