About the Department

We provide a 24 hour Accident and Emergency Service at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey. This covers all major specialties and includes 24 hour cardio-pulmonary and major trauma resuscitation. The Emergency Department Lead Consultant is Mr Sriram Thillainayagam.

The department has its own x-ray facilities, a counselling service, trauma team, and a dedicated paediatric A&E service (located in the Urgent and Emergency Care Centre next to the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Unit).

COVID-19 Visiting Restrictions

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, visitors are not permitted in the Adult Emergency Department unless in exceptional circumstances agreed by the Senior Charge Nurse.

Ashford Walk-in Centre

Please note that the service at St Peter's is for emergency treatment only. There is no A&E on our sister site at Ashford Hospital.

There is a walk-in centre at Ashford that is dedicated to non-urgent care and treatment.

Coming into Hospital as an Emergency Patient

Please read our short guide to using our A&E services.

We encourage all patients to Choose Well in relation to their appropriate care. Hospital services are usually busy and there may be a more suitable treatment pathway for you. Choosing well helps us treat patients faster and takes pressure off key clinical areas.

We appreciate that patients and relatives may be in a heightened emotional state when visiting our emergency department. Please respect the safety and security of our staff and the other patients in the hospital.
