Surgical Admissions Unit (SAU)

Welcome to Surgical Admissions Unit

The SAU is the only ward of its kind in the Trust – and in the whole of Shropshire. It is one of the emergency portals for the hospital, where we assess acutely ill surgical patients. SAU is a 38 bedded unit with an assessment area where we accept patient referred from GP surgeries, clinics and Accident and Emergency. 

Please speak to a member of staff before bringing children on the ward.

When visiting us at the ward we politely ask;

• That you make sure mobile phones are on silent.
• You avoid bringing flowers onto the ward due to hygiene reasons.
• Visitors avoid sitting on patient beds.
• There are no more than two visitors at a bedside.
• Chairs are put away at the end of each visit.
• Hand rub that is located on the main ward door is used when entering and leaving the ward. This is an important infection control measure.
