* have access to bedside and point of care testing as per national UTC specification, including Blood glucose testing, urine dip, pregnancy testing, ECG, venous blood gas testing which includes Haemoglobin, lactate and electrolytes. Where same day radiology imaging is felt to be required, access to plain film imaging is available, any other modality would be via discussion with the ED consultant;
* review patients across the full age spectrum;
* not be expected to see patients presenting with an injury;
* be able to refer as per in the primary care to any receiving specialty using standard referral into Trust processes;
* deal with any patient complaints or reported incidents in the first instance with the ED 'consultant of the day' maintaining ownership of any significant incidents etc.
