title: Acute medical assessment units.
abstract: Acute Medical assessment and admission units are a relatively new model in Irish healthcare system. AMAU supports the primary physician to improved practice and to take responsibility for their patients. The setting up of medical assessment units model is a suitable alternative for many hospitals at present, where staff, training and quality matters surround their present A&E Departments and are not well developed or staffed. Acute Medical assessment units have the potential to play a very useful role in Irish healthcare system.
