When you drive into Durham City or Northallerton there are signs saying Hospital A and E on roundabouts and at junctions surrounding the access routes to the Hospital and the words Accident and Emergency Department appear on the billboards at the hospital, not just Emergency but Accident and Emergency. So why is that? Unless you read Sir Bruce Keogh's proposals in a trust document on page 9 of Right First Time 24/7 on the County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust website the significance of the name Emergency Department might be lost on you.
