The purpose of SDEC is to provide a 'one stop' service for emergency patients who require safe timely assessment and/or treatment avoiding where possible, the need for admission. Under this care model, patients presenting at hospital with relevant conditions can be rapidly assessed, diagnosed, and treated without being admitted to a ward and if clinically safe to do so will go home the same day their care is provided.
There are 9 treatment spaces, and the unit is open between 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday. Working closely with the Medical Assessment Unit to ensure that it is fully utilised and patients are assessed and treated without delay. The Consultant of the day, based in MAU will provide supervision and support. The post holder will be based in SDEC and when required support MAU during times of escalation and will be expected to proactively input into the development of the unit.
