- Staff protection

- Fair outcomes
01The problem
The emergency entrance is where people arrive frightened and angry. Staff are shouted at and, sometimes, threatened. Cameras at the door, the triage desk and the waiting area deter trouble and, when something does happen, show what really took place.
