I'm just going to take your temperature, OK?
00:02
Just pull this in here.
00:04
That's grand.
00:05
So the ambulatory unit, it is a unit that we can help reduce the times, waiting times for patients.
00:11
It's longer waiting, ED, obviously, but when you come to the ambulatory unit,
00:14
we try and make the time shorter for you.
00:16
And we also do same-day care, so patients come in, we sort them out,
00:21
and then away home to their own beds that night.
00:24
It has drastically cut down in A&E waiting times.
00:27
It has improved flow in A&E.
00:30
There's a four-and-a-half-hour turnaround time.
00:33
This includes initial assessment, diagnostics, senior review, and going home with a therapy plan.
00:40
It's an exciting new chapter for the cause by this unit.
00:42
It's forward planning and forward thinking.
00:45
We've repurposed the building, actually.
00:47
The unit itself, before I started, was a storeroom for this last 20 years,
00:51
and the unit we have virtually opened with zero budget.
00:54
And with significant impact already seen in the last two months of operation.
00:58
Overall, our unit has exceeded expectations.
01:00
We were initially projected to see 100 patients a month.
01:03
We have almost doubled that, and we hope to continue to grow and expand as time goes on.
