Hardly a week has gone by in 2014 in the UK without there being media coverage of the challenges which face Accident and Emergency Departments.

This conference will seek to address widespread misinformation surrounding the delivery of emergency care in the UK. Through interactive conference sessions this event will unpick popular myths and correct their implications for manager and practitioners. Policy proposals and accountable actions will be identified which can offer workable solutions to the real challenges which face emergency medicine. The core themes which will be covered at this conference are: -Why do patients come to the A&E -Why do patients keep being admitted to hospital -Why patients aren t sent home -Exit Block much more than the 4 hour target -Why altering the A&E brand does not work -Fair funding -Staffing and workforce -7 day working -Data and informatics Suggested attendees: This event is open to primary care practitioners, emergency medicine doctors, secondary care consultants, trust executives and hospital managers, CCG Chairs and Board members and journalists.
