As an Acute Physician you will be providing consultant/specialist led care for patients based on the Acute Medical Unit. The Unit is a modern purpose-designed ward in very close proximity to the Emergency Department and consists of 24 beds including a number of monitored beds. Consultant ward rounds are conducted every morning with a second round in the afternoon in line with acute medicine standards. Multi-disciplinary board rounds take place twice a day with speciality in-reach for advice.

SDEC will be consultant led and is aiming to open 7 days a week and accepts referrals directly from GPs, Urgent Care, and the Emergency Department. The unit also sees step down patients from the Acute Medical Units that require rapid follow up or further treatment following discharge from hospital. We are currently looking at expanding this service to take more patients from the acute medical take and directly from the community.
