Our Acute Medicine Department has an excellent reputation following on from its pioneering days of developing the concept of Ambulatory Care in the early 2000s, with Ambulatory Emergency Care being an ongoing strength of the Department. We are the home unit for the ‘Amb score’, a sensitive scoring system derived to select out potential ambulatory emergency care patients from the unselected medical take. Our experienced and extremely dedicated team of nursing staff in the Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit (AECU) continue to use this during their patient triage, to ensure we operate a ‘pull’ system into AECU and facilitate our high same day discharge rates, overseeing the care of around 35-40 patients per day. Recognising the value and growing patient turnover of AECU, we moved into a new unit in July 2020, which includes a spacious waiting room, 2 private triage rooms, 4 consultation rooms, a trolley bay with 6 trolleys and chairs, and have a dedicated ultrasound machine with echocardiography capabilities. We have great links with our on-site Radiology Department, which hosts the ‘Diagnostic Hub’ for the UHB, with access to same day ultrasound and CT scans routinely, and MR imaging also when the need arises.
