See and Treat Seven days a week 1000 – 2200hrs • Triage nurse identifies See and Treat patients, based on set criteria • Approx 25% of presentations triaged as See and Treat • See and Treat patients seen in order of arrival not priority • Dedicated waiting and treatment area • Dedicated Experienced Medical and Nursing staff • initially commenced with 1.5 nurses and 1 RMO and 1 Registrar, after staff feedback changed to 1 Nurse and 1 Registrar • Experienced staff essential to maximizing potential of See and Treat
