Abstract
Over-conveyance by the ambulance service is a compounding factor of emergency department (ED) crowding. Previous solutions have focused on specific patient groups which have a limited impact when compared to the whole urgent and emergency care system. This study aims to analyse non-urgent conveyances by the ambulance service that could be suitable for discharge on-scene. https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/8/Suppl_1/A22.3.
