| Summary, etc. | <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Pressure on acute NHS trusts from emergency admissions reachesa peak each winter. Despite this, what is causing the pressure isincompletely understood. Managing the Pressure examinesemergency hospital admissions in London over a four-year period.Based on research funded by the former London Regional Office ofthe NHS Executive, it shows that:</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;Winter pressures arising from emergency admissions occur atalmost exactly the same time each year; the timing ofemergency admissions is predictable, but the volume is not; respiratory diseases are the main cause ofthe peak indemand, in particular chronic obstructive airways disease inolder people; it is possible to locate the areas where patients admitted asemergencies for respiratory disease live, and therefore targetefforts to reduce the risk of admission.</span></p> |
