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, 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.
Currently there are two team for TIU one in Bournemouth and one in Poole with plans for in the future to merge together in Poole Hospital for a better serve the community.
