The High Dependency Unit (HDU) at Kingston General Hospital provides advanced medical care for patients who require closer monitoring and treatment than a general ward but do not need full intensive care. Our HDU is equipped with modern monitoring systems and staffed by experienced doctors and specially trained nurses who provide round-the-clock care. Patients recovering from major surgery, serious infections, respiratory conditions, cardiac issues, or other complex medical conditions can benefit from the enhanced support available in the HDU.
Continuous monitoring of vital signs allows for early detection of any changes in a patient's condition, ensuring timely medical intervention. With a focus on patient safety, comfort, and faster recovery, the HDU Department at Kingston General Hospital serves as an important step between intensive care and regular hospital care, helping patients recover with confidence and expert support.
