abstract: Reducing emergency admissions is a major aim for most NHS trusts. In Birmingham this has been achieved by setting up a nurse-led emergency assessment area. Nurses accept direct referrals from GPs. Specialist teams of nurses have been set up to supply services in the community, for example intravenous therapy.
