Care 24-7

01/10/2025

On 30 September at Calvary Adelaide Hospital, our emergency teams came together for an evening of learning, because your emergency is always our priority.

We hosted a dedicated educational evening for all our Emergency Department doctors and nurses, reinforcing our commitment to excellence, lifelong learning and readiness to act.

⭕ Dr Anthony Chuang presented the new 2025 ACS (acute coronary syndromes) guidelines, including updated terminology, risk stratification and faster decision pathways under the new ACOMI model.

⭕ Dr Martie Botha shared real-world insights into recognising and managing trauma in older patients, highlighting how age, frailty and mechanisms of injury change the approach.

⭕ Our Deputy Director, Dr Dilyara Mulraney, brought to life case learnings from falls in older people, illustrating how guideline-based assessment, multidisciplinary coordination and targeted interventions improve outcomes.

We believe in investing in our people across all sites, so that when emergencies come, we respond with confidence, compassion and the very latest evidence.

New national data on mental health shows that more people are arriving in crisis at EDs, and they are stepping up to provide vital care.

⭕ The top presentations are linked to substance use, stress disorders, and schizophrenia.
⭕ Waiting times are a growing challenge, with only 60% of patients seen on time.
⭕ Some states report ED stays lasting more than 10 hours for admitted patients.

Emergency Departments remain a crucial safety net, but the pressures are clearly stronger; community and early intervention services are essential.
