Reality check!
The Trust where I work regularly has patients waiting over 24hrs just to
get a bed on a ward. We try to get patients who are facing a long wait
onto a bed in A&E but last week there were no, physical, beds available in
the hospital!
Our record is 2 days for someone with a NOF to get into a ward bed. The
orthopods wanted to operate on her and then send her back to A&E for her
postop care but we really drew a line at that.
Definately SEP!
