A great opportunity has arisen to join our Medical Same Day Emergency Care Team on a fixed term basis!

Medical SDEC is made up of a team of dynamic nursing staff, doctors, advanced practitioners, pharmacist's and specialist nurses. The unit is fast paced with an emphasis on high quality rapid assessment and accepts patients from a wide variety of specialties.

The unit accepts referrals from GP’S, the Emergency Department, and Southwest Ambulance service, as well as working closely with NHS lowing the expansion of the unit, we now provide speciality services within Acute Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Infectious Disease, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Stroke, and Neurology.

Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) remains at the forefront of NHS England’s urgent, emergency care recovery plan. The unit has received significant investment allowing the service to transform and grow over the last 2.5 years. The purpose designed unit now assesses 35-50 patients per day.

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.
