The Short Stay Observational Unit (SSOU) admits approximately 8,000 patients each year and is staffed by a dedicated team of professionals including emergency medicine specialist doctors, nurses and clerical staff. The SSOU actively supports patient flow through the Emergency Department by providing targeted care for patients requiring short-term hospitalisation (more than 4 hours of care but no longer than 24 hours) and who are on a defined pathway to discharge.
The Assessment and Treatment Unit (ATU) is a mixed medical/surgical unit that provides access to care for patients requiring a length of stay of no more than 72 hours. The primary cohort of patients consist of those requiring cardiac care, both medical and surgical management. Patients are cared for by their respective inpatient speciality team and have a defined pathway to discharge. The unit staffs a three bed complex care unit.
