We need to work on ways of reducing length of stay of more major patients.
Surely we should now be moving to A&E registrars and consultants having
the authority to directly admit patients to wards, as in Australia.
This would, more than anything,have an immediate and dramatic effect on
ED waits, trolley clearance and patient comfort.
Opinions, anyone?
