MAU at MGH
If a patient is transferred from the MAU (at MGH), a receiving CUH in-patient consultant/team must have accepted the patient (see protocol 37 criteria), prior to transfer.
Similarly, if a patient is being transferred from CUH to MGH, there must be a clearly identified "accepting" consultant/team.
