All questions are shown as received by the Trust.
1. Since the start of 2021-22, has your trust enacted a ‘continuous pre-emptive flow’ model for A&E patients? Either based on or similar to the North Bristol model of care (which is described here – https://www.hsj.co.uk/quality-and-performance/controversial-aande-policy-showed-were-all-shouldering-the-pain-says-ceo/7035885.article )
2. If so, please describe how the ‘continuous flow’ model works at your trust – detailing whether this applies just to your Type 1 emergency departments, or your Type 3 departments as well.
3. In which month and year was this first enacted?
4. Is the model still in use now? If not, why not?
5. If not, do you have plans to enact such a model in the next six months?
6. If you’re not planning to introduce this model, please could you explain why?
