Member of Parliament for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, Dr Dan Poulter, was today pleased to visit Ipswich Hospital to meet with Chief Executive, Nick Hulme and members of his team.

Dr Poulter was welcomed to the hospital, before visiting the new purpose-built Acute Medical Same Day Admission Emergency Centre (AMSDEC).  During his visit to the centre, Dr Poulter met with the Clinical Director for Emergency Medicine to hear about the positive impact offered by the centre, before meeting with and talking to members of the team and patients receiving care.

During his visit, Dr Poulter also met with key members of the team working hard behind the scenes to manage bed allocations, admissions and discharges, before finally meeting with members of the older people’s care and medicine team to talk about how integrated care has supported patients during recent months.
