摘要

With ever increasing concern over ambulance handover delays this paper looks at the impact of dedicated A%26E nurses for ambulance handovers and the effect it can have on ambulance waiting times. It demonstrates that although such roles can bring about reduced waiting times, it also suggests that using this as a sole method to achieve these targets would require unacceptably low staff utilisation.
