Weekly A&E performance

The national accident and emergency waiting time standard requires us to ensure at least 95 per cent of patients are discharged or admitted within four hours. While the standard is for all types of patients, we breakdown our performance by hospital site and patient type.

Patient types

• Type 1: A consultant-led 24-hour service with full resuscitation facilities; applies to emergency departments at Charing Cross and St Mary’s hospitals.
• Type 2: A consultant-led single specialty A&E service (e.g. ophthalmology); applies to the emergency department at Western Eye Hospital.
• Type 3: Minor injury units and urgent care centres (UCCs); applies to UCCs at Charing Cross, Hammersmith and St Mary’s hospitals.
