Doctors and nurses within A&E departments are working in extremely pressurised environments and are required to treat patients at speed and in a safe manner. The law states that junior doctors are judged to the same standard as their more experienced colleagues, even though many junior staff will be on a steep learning curve.
A&E doctors and nurses are often not expected to decide upon a definite diagnosis since an ailment could be representative of a vast number of conditions. However, they are expected to place the patient on the correct pathway which will eventually lead to the correct diagnosis. A&E doctors a.nd nurses are also expected to triage patients correctly so that the most urgent cases are addressed first
Some of the most common injuries from negligent diagnosis and treatment within A&E departments are:
· Fractures
· Meningitis
· Aortic aneurysm
· Cauda Equina Syndrome - i.e. damage caused to the bundle of nerves below the end of the spinal cord.
