A&E performance has been under significant pressure since 2013 with trusts struggling to meet the target to admit or discharge 95% of patients within four hours. Many predict this will be even worse this winter.
Are A&Es at breaking point, or is this target given too great a significance by the media and politicians, looking to write headlines or score political points? Are NHS managers failing to lead their organisations to resolve these issues, or is this a failure of primary and social care with A&Es left to pick up the pieces? What should we do with the ~10% of patients who are inappropriately presenting at A&E?
Take the opportunity to hear industry speakers tackle the A&E issue, including:
