Nurse staffing levels and skill mix in accident and emergency departments (original) (raw)

Nursing Standard, 1992

Abstract

This paper examines the history of nurse staffing and skill mix in accident and emergency (A&E) departments, and reports results from a study which examines numbers of staff and relates this to numbers of patients and organisation of work in A&E departments throughout one region. The types of procedures undertaken by nurses and the qualifications they held are also analysed. Conclusions about present variations in staffing in A&E departments are drawn, with recommendations for further study.
