Bad idea Mk 1. Mainly because if you admit and then something goes wrong
you or your juniors, all busy on the shop floor get called to the 11th
floor to sort it out.

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?
