Why wait in a busy emergency department for minor injuries or illnesses?

If you or your child has an injury, bite, burn or infection, the last thing you want to do is to have to wait for hours to be seen.

Following the success of Affidea ExpressCare at The Elysian in Cork, ExpressCare is now open at Tallaght Cross East, near Tallaght Hospital, from 10am to 10pm, 365 days a year.

Get treatment for fractures, dislocations, sprains or strains, minor head and chest injuries, minor burns and scalds, fever, infections, and mouth and dental problems, to name a few.

You don’t need to make an appointment and Affidea’s Consultant-led team aim to see patients – one-year and up – in under two hours.

The clinic operates independently, providing services to all patients who attend on a fee-for-service basis. Alternatively, Affidea ExpressCare is a covered benefit for patients with private health insurance from Laya Healthcare and Irish Life Health.

Affidea ExpressCare is a €2 million centre, based alongside their €3.5 million diagnostics centre which offers onsite access to a full suite of diagnostic imaging services – including X-ray, MRI, ultrasound and CT scans – which is an added unique benefit.

This is all part of a €20 million investment by Affidea in the Irish healthcare sector over past three years. So, why wait?
