Abstract

Delays in receiving care are of particular relevance to time-critical pathologies, for which quality of care and timely access are fundamentally interlinked.

Characterising and improving delays in a health system are complex, and require both quantitative and qualitative understanding.

There is mutual benefit to collaboration across clinical, academic and geographical areas of interest in order to understand and reduce delays in accessing care.
