Acute Trusts are specialized healthcare organizations in the United Kingdom that provide short-term medical care for patients with serious or urgent health conditions. They focus on delivering immediate treatment, often in emergency situations, and are typically associated with hospitals that have accident and emergency departments. These trusts are responsible for managing resources, staff, and facilities to ensure that patients receive timely and effective care. They work closely with other healthcare providers, including NHS services, to facilitate patient transfers and ongoing treatment after initial care is provided.
