Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) is an NHS service that allows patients who need urgent medical assessment and treatment to be seen, treated and discharged on the same day, without an overnight hospital stay. These units are sometimes known as Acute Medical Units, Surgical Assessment Units, or Same Day Emergency Units.

We are building a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group made up of people with lived experience of using Same Day Emergency Care services.

Have you called 999 five or more times in a month because of symptoms that keep coming back, like pain or breathlessness? We are developing a research project to help people in this situation and want to hear from you.
We are looking for one or two people of any age or background to have a short online or phone chat with a researcher and review a brief description of the research.
You will receive a £30 voucher as a thank you. Spaces are very limited as this research is seeking funding.
