RCPI says it may withdraw accreditation from sites where junior doctors see triaged patients from ED
An RCPI spokeswoman said the letter clarified that doctors in training work with patients who have been triaged for admission to hospital. “They do not assess patients for admission in the ED.”
Tramore GP Austin Byrne pointed out that once patients are referred to medical staff they no longer count as ED trolley cases, despite having had no medical care or assessment by a doctor up to that point. “These patients have been seen by the ED doctors, under supervision of senior decision makers and are safe to hand across for further workup,” Dr Byrne said.
The letter suggests that in some hospitals the ED journey “takes but the blink of an eye”, Dr Byrne said.
