Title 36557 Research into Organisation and Delivery of 24/7 Healthcare Client Website 
Summary This call invites researchers to address gaps in knowledge on how best to deliver NHS care around the clock to patients. This includes important questions on the patterns of current services and the impact of extending hours on patients and quality of care, staffing and staff deployment, organisational culture and costs. Four particular research gaps have been identified, but other relevant proposals on the organisation and delivery of 24/7 will be considered. Of the four identified knowledge gaps, three cover all settings recognising the interrelated nature of many services (for instance, the relationship between extended practice opening hours and use of emergency departments). However, one area is focused particularly on acute settings, in evaluating models of care for night and weekend working in hospitals.
