**Ko **wai mātou | **About **us**

The Acute Demand programme is a Canterbury wide network of services designed to provide community-based care for patients either at risk of presentation to the Emergency Department, admission to hospital, or able to discharge home with advanced nurse assessments.

The service is designed to:

- Support and assist general practice teams to help patients who are acutely unwell to remain in their own home for their treatment.
- Support newly diagnosed Heart Failure patients in the first few weeks to reduce re admission rates to hospital.
- The service is aimed towards patients who have an acute episode of illness that may otherwise be admitted to hospital.

Pegasus Health 24 Hour Surgery is committed to providing a high quality, twenty-four hour service to the people of Christchurch from its site at 401 Madras Street. Operating for over 25 years, it is the preferred provider of after-hours care for most family doctors in Christchurch.

- Confirm with the Acute Demand Liaison Nurses based in the hospital re supported discharge for appropriate patients.
- Effectively communicate with team members, patients, and their family/whanau. Patient education and health promotion is pivotal to this role.
