Treatment Investigations Unit (TIU)
TIU is one of the few units across the UK which is led entirely by specially trained nurses, focusing on treatment and investigation of a variety of medical acute and chronic conditions. The unit objective is to prevent unnecessary admissions of patients into the hospital.
We work as a Day Case Ward, so the patients come to the unit, have their treatment or investigation done and then they can go home in the same day.
Members of our team have qualifications on non-medical prescription of treatment, and TIU nurses became the first in England to be able to prescribe blood and blood products on a non-emergency basis which was previously a medical competency only.

Our Purpose

- Reduce the unnecessary need of admissions into the hospital for treatment;
- To reduce delays in commencement of treatment;
