Stavanger Satellite Emergency Room

In short

EMERGENCY ROOMS ARE FOR EVERYONE, BUT NOT FOR EVERYTHING

  • Call 113 for serious and life-threatening injuries and acute illnesses
  • Contact your general practitioner first. Outside the GP's opening hours, you can call the satellite emergency room if it cannot wait until the next day.
  • Call the emergency room at 116 117 first and make an appointment. If you do not have an appointment, you must wait outside the satellite emergency room.
  • Do not call if you are healthy!

What you take to the emergency room

The emergency room does not have access to your medical record from the hospital, GP, or others.

You must bring identification, an overview of regular medicines, relevant medical documents (reports from hospitals or similar) and eventually healthcare exemption card.

When you get to the emergency room

Contact the staff at the entrance immediately if you are critically injured or seriously ill. Otherwise, take a queue ticket. When your number appears in the display in the waiting room, you can talk to the nurse in a separate reception room. The nurse assesses with you whether a doctor's consultation is necessary.

Waiting time

All patients are prioritised according to medical criteria. The nurse in the satellite emergency room assesses which degree of urgency you belong to.

Payment

You must pay a deductible for treatment at the emergency room. You must also pay for bandages, medications and other equipment that is used.

For people with a healthcare exemption card, children under the age of sixteen, people who have their first service in the military, and pregnant women having a consultation related to the pregnancy, the consultation itself is free. You will still have to pay for bandages, medications and other equipment used.

The emergency room has a payment machine in the waiting room. It is possible to pay in cash at the payment machine at the satellite emergency room at Våland. It is also possible to get an invoice or pay via mobile phone.

If you leave the emergency room without paying, an invoice will be sent by SMS or by post, if it is sent by post, an invoice fee will be charged.

If you have questions regarding payment / invoice, please contact our partner Convene on telephone 21 62 73 20 or via the contact form: Contact us - Convene

Patients who are supervised by a doctor in an ambulance and driven directly to the hospital are sent an invoice afterwards. Our doctors show up together with the ambulance in the event of a serious illness or accident.

Home visits
