Lamb Foggo Centre Hour Changes Extended
The Bermuda Hospitals Board announced that the “change in hours at the Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre [UCC] will continue to the end of February at which time it will be re-assessed.”
A spokesperson said, “The UCC is currently open from 6pm to 10pm Monday to Friday and 9am -9pm on Saturday and Sunday. The move to evening hours only on weekdays, was to assist with ensuring adequate staffing levels are available in the Emergency Department at KEMH.”
Dr Chikezie Dean Okereke, Chief of Emergency, comments: “The temporary change in the weekday hours implemented last month has helped. As we remain under the same pressures the decision was made today to extend the current hours until the end of this month.”
Judy Richardson, Chief of Nursing, comments: “The reduced UCC hours allow us to redeploy a full time nurse back to the ED which assists in delivering care where the most unwell people are in need.”
