Ambulatory Assessment Treatment Unit officially opens its doors
A new unit at Noble's Hospital is hoped to help reduce the length of time people are waiting to be seen in A&E.
The Ambulatory Assessment and Treatment Unit, or AATU, means those not needing to be admitted can be given an appointment to come back at a later time.
It also means those needing daily medication who'd previously be kept in hospital could come in daily and recover predominantly at home.
Gavin Turnbull is the Clinical Practitioner and Service Lead for the unit and Jo Standish is Associate Director of Nursing for Medicine, Urgent & Emergency Care and Ambulance Service:
