The departments in Acute Medicine improves the efficiency in the admission process for unplanned patients by providing assessment, care and treatment for a designated period (usually 48 hours) prior to transfer to a medical ward or home where appropriate.

The Acute Medical Team provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary patient-centered care whilst closely working with other specialist teams based in both hospital and community settings.

Acute Medicine is split into two specific areas the Acute Medical Unit & Ambulatory Care Unit

Acute Medical Unit

The Acute Medicine Unit (AMU) at Manchester Royal Infirmary is a 55 bedded unit which includes 7 side rooms. The AMU primary role is to provide a rapid definitive assessment, investigations and treatments for patients admitted as an emergency by their GP or who require admission from the emergency department.

Ambulatory Care Unit

The Ambulatory Care Unit (ACU) provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment with the aim of getting patients home safely on the same day, without the need for an overnight stay or admission to hospital. The Unit is staffed by our team of Acute Physicians, with input being given by specialist teams.
