Our department at the Lister Hospital provides rapid care, assessment and treatment for a specific cohort of patients without the need for these patients to be admitted to hospital.
| Location | Ground Floor Strathmore Wing Green Zone Access via Gate 2 off Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage, SG1 4AB |
| Contact details | 01438 288970 (for reception) [email protected] (for patient queries regarding with the SDEC Unit) |
The service is open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm.
Community referrals are made via your GP, who will contact our Acute Care Coordinator (07500 792616).
You can also be referred to us by our Emergency Department (ED) or Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC).
Please don’t arrive at the SDEC department without an appointment, as you may not be seen.
The time patients spend in our department will depend on what assessment, investigation or treatment you need and who you need to see. You will usually have some observations taken when you arrive (blood pressure, heart rate and temperature) before you are seen by a member of the team.
The clinical team who are looking after you will keep you informed throughout your stay, but please ask if you have any questions.
We encourage patients to complete a Friends and Family Test survey while on the unit or after discharge to provide feedback on our care.
