Undertaken on behalf of the

 British Association of Emergency Medicine    

BAEM are supporting a national survey of emergency care. This survey will collect information from every A&E department in the UK as well as information from assessment units. The information from this survey will allow us all to benchmark our resources and facilities and so should be helpful to everyone in improving the services they offer.

PROJECT AIMS
A survey will be undertaken that will look at facilities, resources and processes in secondary emergency care, including A&E, assessment units and observation wards.

The key areas covered in the survey will be:
1. Staffing levels for all professional groups (establishment and actual)
2. Physical resources available and security arrangements
3. Specialty availability on site
4. Locations where various types of emergency care patients are assessed
5. Processes used (e.g. see and treat, rapid assessment teams, direct admissions, fast tracks, admission avoidance etc)
6. New roles and new ways of working
7. Access to diagnostics
