Various professional health figures participate in the management and treatment of patients in Emergency- Casualty structures presenting diverse levels of clinical severity. This study describes and analyses the role of nursing figures who have achieved different levels of training who collaborate with medical staff in the management of low and medium priority patients, using the case study research method. Three cases treated in the See and Treat Service and in the Major Area of the Wishaw General Hospital, Glasgow, Scozia are described.
