About Our ED

The Queensway Carleton Hospital Emergency Department is a 39 bed, large community urban department that serves the rapidly-growing population of Ottawa's west end and beyond. With over 80,000 visits a year, we are the busiest department in the city, but always strive to provide high quality, compassionate and patient centred care.

We provide care both to the city of Ottawa and act as a regional referral centre for much of the Ottawa Valley.

Our physicians provide care in conjunction with our excellent RN and RPNs (including those specialty trained in casting and splinting) as well as respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, social work, geriatric emergency medicine team, and crisis intervention service.

We have a variety of diagnostic imaging modalities available, including 24/7 X-Ray and CT, as well as ultrasound and MRI, and access to a variety of consultation services including internal medicine, general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, gastroenterology, urology, otolaryntology, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry.

The Queensway Calreton Hospital is a 355 bed urban community hospital. As West Ottawa’s only full-service hospital, it offers a diversity of medical and surgical programs and services, as well as intensive care and childbirth programs.
