Summary

This research aims to establish the number of patients coming to Emergency Departments (EDs) with issues relating to mental health, alcohol or drugs, or in some form of psychological distress, including those for whom this was not the main reason for attending ED. We will collect anonymous information on age, gender, ethnicity, when and how they came to the ED, where and how they are cared for whilst in the ED, and what happens to them afterwards. With this information we hope to build a better picture of these patients so we can go on to design and test ways to improve their care in the future.
