Albany Unit
About us
The Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) is a 50-bed medical ward which assesses and treats patients admitted via our Emergency Department or referred by their doctor.
Patients can be admitted at any time, seven days a week. Most people will stay less than 72 hours. If you need to stay in hospital longer, you will be transferred to another ward.
The AAU is located in Kingston Hospital’s Surgical Centre.
Visiting times
Patients can receive visitors between 8am and 8pm. There is no restriction on the amount of time visitors can stay, but they should leave by 8pm.
