Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU)

The Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) assesses patients who have a confirmed or probable surgical condition.

Patients are referred via their GP or are admitted via the Urgent Treatment Centre.

Depending on your clinical condition and care needs, you will either be assessed in the clinic or admitted to another ward.

If you are admitted, it is usual for that to happen on the same day or the day after admission.

If you have been referred by your GP, it is possible you will need to attend an appointment which may be on the same day or the following day.
