Hospital data accessed to study SDEC performance
Hospital data accessed to study SDEC performance
After some administrative delay, we now have access to the data we need for our statistical analyses.
We will provide the first national evaluation of SDEC services in NHS England. Work-package 2a is a study describing trends in health outcomes, both over time and between hospitals. Work-package 2b is cost-consequential study that will describe the policy-level effect of SDEC services on policy outcomes and NHS costs.
Together, both studies will inform our first major report on the impact of SDEC service.

We spent the summer surveying type-1 emergency departments in NHS England, asking about their SDEC services.
Promoting the survey involved calling the +350 relevant hospitals in England to find out if they had an SDEC to report on. We are grateful to the kind and patient staff around the country who took the time to complete our online survey.
We are now busy processing the responses to find a meaningful and helpful way to classify SDEC services.

In time with the beginning of our third work package, we'll be welcoming two new qualitative researchers to the team.
Both researchers will support Professor Fiona Sampson with observations of SDEC services around the country, and interviews with patients and staff.
You will be able to find out more about both new researchers on our 'Who we are' page, soon.
"Thank you for doing this project. It’s been needed."
