Interesting question about Emegency Directorate from Bill Bailey in Chesterfield. Before the thread gets going could someone post a few definitions:
EAU, MAU, EPAU, PAU and the one that always confuses me CDU. It is not sufficient to know the words that the initials stand for, I for one need to know the difference between a CLINICAL DECISION UNIT and a unit where clinical decisions are made.
If we could all agree the definition of these terms it would help because we would all be talking about the same things. In our hospital for example the MAU is no longer a medical assessment unit, it is now the only medical ward which is staffed well enough to take admissions...........
