The Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) is a 12 bedded Unit with segregated male and female sleeping and washing areas.
SAU also includes a seated assessment area for urgent GP referrals.
SAU assesses patients from the following 4 specialities:
- General Surgery
- Urology
- Orthopaedics
- ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat)
SAU also offers a Rapid Access Clinic for both General Surgical and ENT patients requiring urgent hospital follow up but not needing an admission into the Main Hospital. Patients needing to stay longer that 72 hrs are transferred to the speciality specific ward.
Our visiting times for inpatients are 14.00 – 20.00
