Abstract
► We considered the staffing problem in English emergency departments. ► We combined queueing and simulation models to search for minimal staffing profiles. ► Applying the method to a generic ED shows that improvements can be made even without increase in total staff-hours. ► Improvements arise as the result of matching staffing levels closely with demand.
