Maternity
Day Assessment Unit (DAU)
Day Assessment Unit
DAU provides individualised care to women who are not in labour but require review in the acute unit during their pregnancy.
Women can self-refer or be referred by another health care professional for example your community midwife or your GP. DAU will monitor you and your baby or offer further investigations if necessary. This helps avoid admission to hospital and avoids anxiety and inconvenience to you. You will be cared for by our expert team of Midwives who will refer to a Doctor if a further opinion is required.
