Equity in access

Score: 3

There was some variation in people’s experiences of accessing the emergency department. Waiting times were a theme in the feedback the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the service received from people using the emergency department. Waiting times, communication and uncomfortable seating in the waiting room were the main themes from feedback the provider received.

Leaders had developed the availability of same day emergency care services to improve access to emergency care in relation to medical, fraility, cardiology, and surgery specialities. The service was focused on improving timeliness of ambulance handovers and 12 hour waits within the emergency department.

The service had a ‘proactive hospital programme’ aimed at improving the efficiency of clinical assessment, admission, transfer and discharge from the hospital. Leaders reviewed data on responsiveness of the service monthly and took action to improve performance.
