Emergency care unit
Supporting A&E departments
Creating urgent care capacity
Southend University Hospital, part of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust deployed a temporary ambulance handling unit to reduce patient handover delays enable ambulance crews to respond to emergency calls with fewer delays.
- Our team deployed a bespoke solution within 1 week
- The solution meant ambulance crews could safely hand over patients and get back on the road to answer more category 1 and 2 calls
- Located near their A&E department, the units provided a safe place for patients to be regularly monitored and assessed by a clinical team while awaiting space in the ED department
Client testimonial
