(Medical) High Dependency Unit
This is one of the specialist centres at Orléans CHU:
'Les pôles cliniques et médico-techniques
Pôle ‘‘médecines interventionnelles’’
Pôle ‘‘chirurgie et anesthésie réanimation adultes’’
Pôle ‘‘personnes âgées’’
Pôle ‘‘métiers de l’urgence’’
Pôle ‘‘médecines à fortes consultations’’
Pôle ‘‘imagerie’’
Pôle ‘‘femme - enfant’’
Pôle ‘‘appui à la qualité des soins’’
Pôle ‘‘biopathologie’’'
I have not been able to confirm my suggested translation, but it does seem likely.

Some hospitals have High Dependency Units (HDUs), also called step-down, progressive and intermediate care units. HDUs are wards for people who need more intensive observation, treatment and nursing care than is possible in a general ward but slightly less than that given in intensive care.

I probably should have given this a confidence level of 2.
It's not outpatients:
"Le service de court-séjour Gériatrique du CHR d’Orléans fait partie du pôle « Médecines à Fortes Consultations ». Il répond aux besoins de l’amont de la filière gériatrique et comprend 75 lits."
http://www.chr-orleans.fr/chr-orleans/activites-medicales/po...
"Le service de rhumatologie est composé de 2 secteurs : l'hospitalisation complète et la consultation.
En outre l'hôpital de jour est commun à 3 services : la rhumatologie, la neurologie et la médecine infectieuse. Le service fait partie du pôle des médecines à fortes consultations."

Re your note: yes, that's possible, but I think that Nikki is right and the best solution is to phone the hospital and ask.

Thanks Chakib, but the question is whether or not it's a correct translation and the discussion makes me think that it may well not be.

Discussion
I decided to use "High Volume Medical Unit".
It looks like this is a grouping of the Hospital's departments (Services) with a heavy load of "consultations" (as opposed to séjour, or urgence)
@Nikki Sorry I didn't see your post. Yes same idea... Not a technical medical term, basic french to say "lots of people coming in"

I think it is being used to describe the services where there are lots of appointments with the medical staff. Some services are less appointment-orientated, surgery (in the sense of "chirurgie) for example where most of the appointments will have been had before the patient turn up for his operation.
