Mason and the emergency room doctors have this advice about what not to do while navigating the ER:
- Don’t forget to call your doctor on the way to the ER.
- Don’t use an ambulance unless you really need it.
- Don’t be quiet.
- Don’t get angry, and don’t lie.
- Don’t forget the phone.
What is the wait time in A and E?
The waiting time target for patients in A&E is currently set to 4 hours from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge. However, not all hospitals have urgent care centres associated, which means people with minor injuries may have a longer wait until they’re seen.
How can I lower my emergency room wait time?
Here are the three changes that proved most effective in our emergency departments:
- Staffing to demand. Given the choice, patients prefer to come to the ED in the evening and on weekends to avoid missing work.
- Redeploying the nursing staff.
- Modifying physician staffing.
