This is an exciting time to join the department of respiratory medicine at the Royal Sussex County Hospital Brighton. Our department moved into the brand-new state of the art Louisa Martindale Building in June 2023. The respiratory ward is located on level C9, and we have two dedicated bays and a clinic room for our Respiratory Same Day Emergency Unit.
The aim of the Respiratory SDEC are for people with respiratory symptoms to be rapidly assessed by a specialist multi-disciplinary respiratory team and have increased access to rapid diagnostic respiratory tests (i.e. spirometry, FeNO, thoracic ultrasound etc) and thoracic Radiology. This will enable prompt diagnosis and start of the correct therapeutic pathway in an ambulatory setting.
Patients presenting to ED with a respiratory complaint and clinically stable to be assessed in an SDEC unit will be transferred to the Respiratory SDEC. They will be fully assessed by the clinical fellow; necessary investigations will be organised and when results available the patient will be discussed/reviewed by the respiratory physician of the day. Treatment and management plan will be decided, and patient will either be admitted for inpatient care or discharged with appropriate follow-up.
