Paediatric emergency department design: Does it affect staff, patient and community satisfaction?
The change in the physical environment in which we treat our paediatric emergencies seemed to enhance the level of satisfaction of our attendees. Staff appear to be more confident when dealing with these patients in a dedicated paediatric area. The effect has not yet flowed on to the inpatient staff and general practitioners, perhaps reflecting a small exposure of these individuals to the survey subject matter.
These findings indicate a potential application of the BTC/ERBB4 pathway for modulating the course of AP.
