Accident & Emergency
Accident and Emergency, like General Practice, is a critical first point of contact for many in need of medical advice. Like general practice, the key role for A+E medicine is to evaluate and categorise patients between those with benign or less serious health concerns and those with serious, time-critical illness or injury.
Unlike many other areas of medicine, time can be of the essence in such evaluation and initiation of appropriate care. Heart attack and stroke are obvious examples. Some forms of infection (meningitis, group A streptococcus) are also time-critical.
