A&E waits: Hundreds of patients a week in England may have died unnecessarily

A study found there was likely an excess death for every 72 patients who spent eight to 12 hours in A&E. Nurses say the "crisis" is "taking lives".

More than 250 patients a week in England may have died unnecessarily last year due to very long waits for a bed in A&E, new estimates suggest.

A study by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) suggests patients are put at risk by spending hours in A&E, particularly after a decision has been made to admit them.

  3. Is there a Royal College of Routine (or even Non Emergency) Medecine?
    There might be but as they never reply to any communications it cannot be proved.
    A Schrödinger's Royal Society, if you like.

  4. Doonhamer - that would match the Schrödinger's GP service we hear about.
