I agree. I am also getting increasingly uncomfortable about the four hour limit. If we want to move towards
the Australian model, they tend to hold and treat patients for 24 hours before moving them into the
hospital proper. I am starting to feel that someone somewhere has decided to move us towards the useless
European polyclinic model, and yes, if we do that we WILL be redundant.
This is the sort of thing BAEM should be taking a position on.
Best wishes,
