This study develops evidence-based strategies to maintain equitable emergency care in NWL during cyber crises using network modelling, patient choice analysis, and optimisation.

Public benefit statement

Direct Patient Benefits: This research will directly benefit the 2+ million residents of North West London who depend on emergency care services.
