    AbstractPrimary health care in the accident and emergency department has been a philosophy of care that reacts to more than a client's presenting complaint (reactive care). It aims not only to manage the presenting complaint, but also to integrate continuing care with disease prevention and health promotion. Primary health care in the AED is intended to build fences around the cliffs forming our healthcare problems. At the same time it also encourages the provision of intensive care ambulances for those clients unfortunate to fall before the fences are finished or who fall over the fences.
