Same Day Emergency Care Centre
Our Same Day Emergency Care Centre, formerly known as the Ambulatory Care Centre, offers same day emergency care to patients so that they can be cared for without the need for an admission to hospital.
Patients who are referred to the Same Day Emergency Care Centre are assessed, diagnosed, treated and are able to go home the same day, without needing to stay in hospital overnight.
We offer treatment for both surgical and medical conditions.
Our Same Day Emergency Care Centre offers easy access to diagnostic tests, hospital consultants and specialist staff all in one place. It is a way of providing safe care designed around the needs of the patients.
The centre is staffed by consultants, Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs), nurses, doctors and healthcare assistants.
