James Paget University Hospital has opened a new same-day emergency care (SDEC) unit in Great Yarmouth, U.K., according to a news release.
The unit took 16 weeks to construct and provides emergency medical care and treatment to patients without the need for hospital admission, allowing them to be assessed, diagnosed, and treated on the same day they arrive.
The facility features 12 chair bays and eight bed bays, a drug preparation room, and three nurses’ stations. It was built in a space previously occupied by the hospital’s fractures clinic, which was relocated.
Morgan Sindall Construction (London) was the general contractor on the project, which also included a refurbished outdoor garden and seating area.
