This report of NHS Services, Seven Days a Week Forum, convened
by Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, National Medical Director, addresses the variation in outcomes for patients admitted to hospitals at the weekend across
the NHS in England – a problem affecting most healthcare systems around the
world.
The report sets out ten new clinical standards all patients should expect from hospital emergency services seven days a week, each supported by clinical evidence and developed in partnership with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. The clinical standards cover such areas as the time to first consultant review, mental health, diagnostics and transfer to other care services.
