Enhanced Care database

The table below contains details of enhanced care units from across the UK, including basic unit designs and contact details of local clinicians. In some cases, example documents are provided.

It is hoped that ready access to these documents will foster the development of new units, and allow networking and best practice to be shared.

If you would like to add or update your unit details, please contact administrator@acutemedicine.org.uk.
