The Emergency Department services approximately 88,000 patients per year, about 20% of whom are paediatric patients. The admission rate is of the order of 33%. The Emergency Department aims to provide safe, timely, effective person centred care by appropriately assessing and managing patients with a clear disposition plan, be it discharge or admission to a wide range of specialties provided by the health service. This service will be delivered in a, kind and compassionate manner, enhanced through teaching, research and the development of new technologies, processes and models of care.
