Eastern Community Ambulatory Service & Northern Day Treatment Units

The Eastern Community Ambulatory & Northern Day Treatment units are nurse lead day case infusion services that aim to improve patient flow across the Trust and provide suitable treatment interventions within a community hospital setting. The Services manage patients on a planned day case basis who would otherwise require inpatient admission to the Acute Trust (RDUH East & North). The services accept referrals for ambulant adults from both Primary and Secondary care, with overall clinical responsibility remaining with the patient’s referring clinician.
