This article provides a rapid review of the evidence on nurses' and patients' experiences of crowding, corridor care and boarding. The findings highlight three main elements experienced by staff and patients when caring or being cared for in such contexts: stress and frustration; dissatisfaction with care; and safety and coping mechanisms.

Improving psychosocial assessment of children and young people in the emergency department: a service evaluation. 改善急诊科儿童和青少年的社会心理评估:服务评估。

However, it can be challenging for ED healthcare professionals to undertake a formal psychosocial assessment due to a range of factors. This article reports the results of a service evaluation, undertaken in two children's EDs in a large NHS trust in England. The evaluation involved a review of 308 ED clinical records of CYP who presented to the EDs with mental health issues, to assess the extent to which this cohort was receiving a structured psychosocial assessment. The results showed that only a small proportion (34%, n=104) of the clinical records contained evidence of some form of psychosocial assessment, while the use of a psychosocial assessment tool was documented in only 22 (7%) of these 104 clinical records.

Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust (WAST) employs mental health professionals in its 999 call centres to provide remote mental health triage and support. While this has been effective in reducing ambulance conveyance to EDs, many patients still require a face-to-face assessment. To address this, WAST explored the option of providing a mental health response vehicle (MHRV) service, which has been shown to be effective in some ambulance trusts in England. This article gives an overview of a pilot MHRV service that was delivered by WAST across the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board locality in south-east Wales in between January and March 2024.
