Although this may seem an obvious point to labour, and much is made of a 7-day NHS: urgent and emergency care (UEC) staffing does not reflect patient demand across the 24-hour clock or 7-day week. ☀️: 🚑🩺 🚑🩺 🚑🩺 🌖: 🚑🚑🚑🩺 .../2
Agree entirely! The answer is increased staffing at night in at least one part of the system. Either primary care/UEC so that people have greater access to this out of hours with shorter waits, or further upstream in ED (ideally both, but ya know).
