Abstract:

To reduce overcrowding in emergency departments (ED), which is a serious international problem, it is important to reduce the length of ED stay (ED LOS) of emergency patients. In particular, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, psychiatric emergency patients spent much longer in ED. This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of psychiatric emergency patients who visited the ED during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify factors affecting ED LOS. This retrospective study was conducted on adult patients aged 19 years or older who visited a psychiatric emergency center operated by an ED f

Abstract:

Clinical experience suggests that accident and emergency departments are increasingly adopting the role of primary health care providers, particularly those departments situated within the inner cities. Previous studies have shown that there is a high rate of psychiatric morbidity contained within the group of patients attending accident and emergency departments. The question arises as to how adequate provision for serving such patients can be made. Traditionally these patients have been referred to a duty psychiatrist for assessment or have been discharged from the department without a speci

Abstract:

When planning new service initiatives it is important to review the role and functioning of existing services. As more patients are discharged from long-stay beds, there is increasing concern regarding the quality of community care and the accessibility of urgent psychiatric help. The Department of Health has recently expressed concern over the level of such services provided (DoH, 1989). In Edinburgh, alternative methods of delivering psychiatric emergency care are currently being considered. Community-orientated crisis intervention teams may be useful, but only a small proportion of people p

Every region in The Netherlands has got an emergency service. This is a team of people that immediately goes to see the psychiatric patient after an instruction of for instance the general practitioner or the police.

The patient is then visited by members of the team, a social worker accompanied by a psychiatrist, or the patient will go to the ambulant unit (the polyclinic) directly. This is a very effective procedure, because behind the two people that visit the psychiatric patient, is a whole team of people who have the opportunity to st

Abstract:

The post of Emergency and Liaison Registrar in the Bloomsbury Rotation was created in 1988 to provide a psychiatric service at University College Hospital, London, in the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department and to the A&E Ward for assessment of deliberate self harm (DSH) cases. It incorporated existing commitments of liaison to the UCH wards and provision of urgent psychiatric assessments. The service had previously been shared among a number of psychiatric staff. The registrar can thus be seen as a ‘central pivot’ within the District Psychiatric Services.

Both Wexford and Waterford Counties are badly suffering from the lack of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). This is directly connected to the lack of CAMHS consultants to lead these services. Accessing the existing CAMHS services, especially in emergency, is particularly difficult as the waiting lists are ever growing, and therefore delaying the possibility of an early first appointment.
