A large proportion of the team’s work is based in the Emergency Department, providing frontline assessments, but the team also provides a service to all the wards and departments of the acute hospital, for patients presenting with a wide range of medical and mental health co-morbidities. The team is a very dynamic one, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
