As part of our vision for the future we have recently created exciting acute medicine opportunities within our newly constructed £3.5m 45-bed Acute Medical Unit (AMU) based at Morriston Hospital site. The unit is entirely redesigned with more staff, more treatments and advanced new equipment/facilities. In addition to these, this 21stCentury Acute Medical Unit is a dedicated front of house facility with an integrated trolley-based Assessment Unit and a new Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit. Supported by integrated diagnostics, therapies and pharmacy hubs. This is designed to give people better access to emergency care and cut through long waiting lists for operations and aims to minimise the length of stay for patients (target being 48 hours).
The new acute medical unit will provide a single medical intake for the population of Swansea Bay UHB that will ultimately be based at Morriston Hospital.
