Here is my advice for policy makers distilled into a few simple bullet points that even government ministers should be able to grasp: Stop calling it an A&E problem: It is a whole hospital problem that manifests in A&E. If you are not addressing that root cause, you are not addressing the problem. Stop developing policies that divert patients elsewhere: even if you know how to do that the result would not improve A&E performance by a notable amount. Do something about hospital beds and how they are managed. If policy doesn't focus on this, it isn't addressing the problem. And if policy doesn't, hospitals won't either and the problem will just get worse. LikeThe A&E crisis isn't an A&E problemCommentShareShare The A&E crisis isn't an A&E problem
