We are a level 2 trauma unit and contribute to the regional trauma network. We run a single front door model where we have a 24/7 co-located primary care service, where we stream circa 20-22% of attendances from ED to primary care.

We have a newly built Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC) service running 7am - midnight 7 days each week which supports the Emergency Department with several pathways supporting admission avoidance, improving flow throughout the organisation.
