Rachel and three of her friends were riding their electric scooters, chatting and laughing, not paying attention to the road ahead. Suddenly, they hit a bump they hadn’t noticed, causing them all to lose control and fall off. Rachel scraped her arm badly and banged her knee. Emma flew over her handlebars and landed on her wrist, which began swelling immediately. James hit the ground hard and landed on his shoulder and is in pain. Maya managed to avoid serious injury but ended up with some bruises.
Emma’s swollen wrist might indicate a fracture, and the pain in James’ shoulder may mean a dislocation.
The NHS are trying to improve the efficiency of Accident & Emergency departments. They’ve noticed that some hospitals are struggling to meet the 4-hour waiting time target, where patients should be seen, treated, or discharged within four hours of arrival.
Join the NHS team to understand why some patients are waiting longer than 4 hours
