The medical admissions unit (MAU) is a perfect opportunity to hone your skills in history taking, examination, investigations, and management of both the common medical presentations and also rarer conditions. It also provides an environment where you can develop communication and management skills while running the take, delegating to your on-call team, and prioritising unwell patients. You will experience referrals from the community as well as from the accident and emergency (A&E) department. These interactions will be very helpful in improving your telephone consulting skills and referral technique.
