National survey is up and running 

We have begun our national survey of same day emergency care serives (SDECs) in NHS England. The purpose of the survey it to inform a taxonomy of the ways that SDEC services are setup and delivered.

Please, let us know if you can represent your SDEC in this national survey. Contact Ciarán McInerney at ciaran.mcinerney@sheffield.ac.uk.

Patients and staff tell us their thoughts on SDEC services

We had a productive and insightful meeting with the Sheffield Emergency Care Forum (SECF) Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group, which generated valuable discussion around Same Day Emergency Care services (SDEC).

A key question during the meeting was whether SDECs are making access to urgent and emergency care more complex for patients when navigating emergency and urgent care.
