Ambulatory Care Unit (ACU)
Since going live in 2016, ACU has had a significant positive impact in terms of avoiding admissions via the Emergency Department and primary care at BNHH. You will be part of a multidisciplinary, consultant-led team providing same-day assessments, investigations, treatments, and follow-up via a virtual ward system. Our ACU offers easy access to early diagnostic tests, specialist staff, and review by a hospital consultant in one place. Appointees will have the opportunity to work in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art Ambulatory unit which was opened in May 2018.

Acute Assessment area (AAU)
The Acute assessment unit has 30 assessment areas (trollies/beds) where patients through the acute take are assessed and managed. You will also have the opportunity to assess these patients in resuscitation areas and provide continuation of care to specialty medicine and critical care teams. You will develop skills and confidence in the ongoing management of acute medical patients through consultant-led ward rounds, formulating skills in preparation for future independent practice.
