This includes non-invasive ventilation, inotropic support and close nursing monitoring. The planned medical structure for the CCU will be a designated ward team looking after these patients under the supervision of rotating respiratory and acute medicine consultants.
The wards consist of 2 large medical wards (approx. 28-30 beds each) and an EAU (Emergency Assessment Unit) together with a co-located short stay ward. Each ward has a team, typically consisting of a Consultant, SpR, SHO and house officer and the team is responsible for all of the patients on that ward.
The Medical Take is unselected acute medical admissions; there are around 20-30/day. The consultant on-call is responsible for the full 24hr period encompassing 3 hot rounds during the day (late morning, late afternoon and evening) and a follow up round in the morning for the overnight admissions. There is a 9am handover to the wards and the next team.
