The Acute Medical Unit is a 48- hour stay ward, designed to deliver timely, evidenced-based, and holistic care during the admission phase of medical inpatient care. The model of care allows further work up of patients with acute undifferentiated conditions in a non-ED clinical space before they either discharge or transfer to a home ward under an appropriate inpatient team.

It has a large general medical unit with fewer subspecialties represented and therefore admits a large variety of disorders across the full spectrum of adult medicine.
