Day case admission

Posted By Purdie

"Day case admission"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Same Day Admissions Unit (SDAU)

(as the patient),

I was a admitted to the Same Day Admissions unit for a Liver Biopsy.

From the minute I set foot in the unit until I was discharged later in the day I felt safe in the care of every member of staff on the unit.

Being a same day admission unit, it was very busy particularly in the morning. Staff were very busy but the atmosphere was calm and if staff were under pressure they did not pass this on to their patients.
