High Dependency Unit (HDU) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) | James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We provide a service for critically ill patients that come into hospital that need the support of either Intensive Care or High Dependency to aid their recovery.

We are a 12 bedded unit that admits patients from the Emergency Department, Theatres, other wards within the Hospital and from other Hospitals. We care for patients in need of continuous observation or specialist treatment and look after patients that may be awaiting transfer to specialist tertiary critical care units. We also support patients who have organ failure such as respiratory, cardiovascular and renal.

Patients are assessed and cared for by ICU/HDU doctors, nurses and therapists.

A Rehab Clinic is provided by the Critical Care Outreach Team to support patients after discharge from the hospital. This allows the patient to outline and discuss any problems / anxieties they may have had during their stay.

We actively participate in research and audit.

Consultant Critical Care and Acute Medicine

Specialities:

Acute General Internal Medicine
Critical Care Medicine
Emergency Ultrasound
Upper GI endoscopy
Medical Education

Experience:

I trained at Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Medicine where I also completed a year of clinical research on aspects of critical care endocrinology. After concluding my core medical training in London, I settled in East Anglia.

My Acute Medicine training saw me working at JPUH and NNUH in a variety of specialist trainee roles. In the later years of my specialist training, I elected to expand my speciality repertoire and undergo training in critical care medicine leading to dual accreditation in acute and critical care medicine.

I returned to JPUH after becoming a consultant as this institution persistently and indiscriminately fosters the shared ethos of seamless patient pathways through levels of clinical dependency, which are free of the interdisciplinary barriers.
