On 12 January 2018, Ireland East Hospital Group (IEHG) were delighted to welcome the NHS Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) Improvement Team to deliver a Masterclass on AEC and to share collective learning on improving the delivery of this model of care.

• Maximising AEC – The Medical Approach - Dr Vincent Connolly (Regional Lead for NHS Emergency Improvement)

• Surgical AEC - Ms Sarah Richards (Lead for NHS AEC Surgery)

• The Role of Nursing in the Delivery of AEC - Mr Andy Mitchell (Advanced Nursing Lead and Co-Production Manager for AEC)
