Transforming urgent and emergency care services in England: urgent and emergency care review - end of phase 1 report

Transforming urgent and emergency care services in England: urgent and emergency care review - end of phase 1 report This report proposes a new blueprint for local services across the country that aims to make care more responsive and personal for patients, as well as deliver even better clinical outcomes and enhanced safety. It highlights opportunities to shift care closer to home, finding that 40 per cent of A&E patients are discharged requiring no treatment; up to one million emergency admissions were avoidable last year; and up to 50 per cent of 999 calls could be managed at the scene.
