A&E staff are facing unprecedented pressure; some patients wait hours in unsuitable areas like viewing rooms for the deceased, highlighting a critical lack of resources.
The demand has created an environment where care quality suffers. Patients are treated in inappropriate places, often without access to life-saving equipment, causing further distress.
The hospital has been operating under Opel 4 status; despite anticipating winter challenges, we received no actionable guidance to alleviate the pressure from leadership.
Transparency in data regarding patient treatment times and conditions in these unsuitable settings is urgently needed to understand the scope of the crisis.
