What do the Emergency Response Team do?

The Emergency Response Team may do further tests such as blood tests. They may use special equipment to monitor you and treat your condition, for example a heart monitor and oxygen. Most of the patients who are seen on the wards by the Emergency Response Team improve within a short time. If your condition does not improve the Emergency Response Team will help your team of doctors and nurses to decide if you need to be moved to a specialised unit for more advanced treatment for example the Intensive Care Unit.
