Sponsor's own description
The National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom is facing a 5% increase in demand every year for urgent and emergency care services, and there is evidence that patients are being taken to hospitals by ambulance services when they do not need to go. This is a problem because emergency departments are becoming more crowded, which can lead to poorer quality care. Also, less ambulances are available to respond to emergencies, because they are queueing at hospital for a long time. To improve the care Yorkshire Ambulance Service provide to their patients, some paramedics have received additional training. These advanced paramedics have been very successful at treating patients in their own home safely. However, their training is long and expensive, so another role, the specialist paramedic role has been introduced. Their training does not take as long and is cheaper to provide. However, the specialist paramedics do not appear to keep patients safely at home more often than regular paramedics. Recently, the specialist paramedics have taken part in a national paramedic programme, where they are given the chance to work in GP surgeries and emergency call centres. This study aims to see if specialist paramedics who have worked in a GP surgery for 10 weeks, can keep patients at home safely, and without costing too much, more often than regular paramedics.
