Thread on why Emergency Departments so busy. Concern is that ‘all roads lead to ‘ the ED when the whole system under stress. Problem is we end up overwhelmed and unable to provide a high quality safe service for Emergency patients. @RCollEM
1/19 NEW ANALYSIS🚨: RCEM's very first acute insight series is now live! Today's analysis -carried out by @RCEMPolicyVP & Kelly Sarsfield from the Policy Team- examines why we've witnessed a surge in ED attendances and admissions over recent months. president.rcem.ac.uk/index.p…

When junior doctors admit patients to ED short stay, primarily because their painful condition is not yet controlled, and then don't chart regular analgesia...

Return to crowded A&Es and long ambulance delays outside hospitals will put patients at risk, warns @RCollEM

Monday: happy international women’s day! Women should feel empowered to call out bullying and abuse.
Tuesday: how dare a woman speak out about something that’s had a huge impact on her mental health?
Wednesday: if women choose to walk home alone then they put themselves at risk.

Yesterday we asked MPs to consider overcrowding in EDs before casting their vote on the #TierSystem tonight. THIS is the reality across the country 👇 Empty hospitals do not have long ambulance queues like this, waiting to offload patients.

Anyone who has done the EM Clinical Lead role will relate to this.
In many places it's like looking in a mirror.
Four years on from my stint and I'm still not fully recovered.
May never fully recover.

Powerful. Disturbing. Thank you.

This @MattHancock is blatant mistruth
We are witnessing catastrophic excess care home mortality as a result of bad policy & ignorance
I do feel qualified to speak on this as architect of the #nhslongtermplan care home programme stood down at the pandemic start by @NHSEngland
"Right from the start we've tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes. We set out our first advice in February... we've made sure care homes have the resources they need" says Health Secretary, Matt Hancock.

To those with litres of soap at home- do you realise that to slow the transmission of COVID-19 you need other people to be cleaning their hands too?!

Great to see this out. Thought-provoking and a must-read for all who work in healthcare.
1:30 admitted patients who are in ED for > 12 hrs die who would otherwise have not if admitted to a bed within 6 hrs.
What can we all do to make this better? theguardian.com/society/2019…

“These figures are truly shocking. Many patients are now getting often life changing news while stranded on a trolley in a corridor. This cannot be right & we must put an end to corridor care."

V IMPORTANT: Its the deadline for pension savings statement- ONLY if u exceed STD AA of £40k. If you havnt it DOESNT mean you are safe. If your income is over £110k from ALL sources you should request it urgently. You can use this template to request (for free) an "on demand"

Deeply worrying results from @RCollEM with @RCEMpresident Katherine Henderson reporting in @HSJnews "frontline emergency department staff “overwhelmingly” believe the recent changes to pension rules will have knock-on effects for patient care"
Claire Gray retweeted
The support needed by most smaller DGHs is an increase in staffing & capacity for both the ED and the hospital. The variation in resources between these places and their more prestigious counterparts is totally unacceptable. However, their patients have the same needs. @NHSGIRFT
Claire Gray retweeted
And yet there still exists a belief that if somehow EDs were more 'efficient' we could solve this problem. And so we have to create a work environment that is unsatisfying and unsustainable for staff ( amongst other things) until they leave and so the problem goes on
