Emergency Nurse Practitioners & dedicated minor injuries T&O training
We have read the benefits of early orthopaedic decision making in MIU/ED.
We can still maintain the location/geography and personnel but enhance the service.This all relies on education and empowerment of ENPs and trainees from both ED and T&O. If ENPs are integrated into T&O the patient outcomes and experience would include:
Correct diagnosis
Correct splint application/rehab treatment
Earlier planning for surgery
Reduced return to clinic
Greater patient reassurance and experience.
Cost effective
All without further capital outlay.
What is needed to sustain the change?
What is your region?

Consider creating Advanced Operating Department Practitioner roles to meet/fulfil this service. Utilise and invest in the skills of the Practitioner who provides orthopaedic support in theatre.
