Most answers seem to be from the UK, so I will relate my experience here in Sweden.

After around 30mins I was called by a nurse who checked my nose. She then went to get a Dr to look further. This Dr then got another Dr to check and confer with.

remember this is all out of area

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.
