The Welsh Institute of Emergency and Unscheduled Care (WIEUC) will provide a forum for academics, leaders of strategic healthcare planning, service providers and service users to collaborate and discuss out-of-hospital healthcare and how challenges facing its delivery may be addressed.
Our Vision
The Institute will function as a focus for emergency and unscheduled care education, research and strategic influence within Wales and in the wider context of emergency and unscheduled care practice in the UK, EU and internationally. The driving force is the development of paramedic excellence and the benefits that will bring to healthcare delivery.
Aims
We examine current integrated service provision for emergency and unscheduled care based on local and national evidence with a view to redesign delivery structures and develop health professionals to provide an excellent yet prudent health delivery for the people of Wales.
Such excellence will align physicians with specialist practitioners (paramedical and nursing) to provide timely and effective care management and treatment that is evidenced based. Higher education has an important role facilitating professional development ensuring that it is fit for practice and its needs. Strong partnership working can produce practitioners that not only contribute to the wider NHS in terms of cost effectiveness but also practitioners that can have a profound effect on the individual care needs of patients.
