Medical Assessment Units (MAU)

The main role of MAU is the acute management of medical admissions through the ED. The unit has a significant focus on streamlined and proactive multidisciplinary and specialist medical care with the aim of assessing patients from multiple perspectives within a 48 hour time frame.

Medical Assessment Units are located in the following hospitals:
