We welcome the commitment from the Secretary of Health and Social Care to fully eradicate corridor care by 2029. We now need to see words matched with action.

"Pressures in emergency services are felt more in rural and coastal areas."
@YSTeachingNHS, @UniOfYork and @unibirmingham will be using £1.2 million of national funding to investigate how urgent and emergency care could be improved in more rural areas, like Scarborough.

“Care delivered in corridors and other non-clinical spaces is unsafe, undignified and unacceptable. It violates the privacy of patients and leaves staff without access to essential, life-saving equipment. There are no circumstances under which it constitutes good, safe care.
“What once used to be an exceptional circumstance, is now happening regularly in our hospitals. Health leaders and the secretary of state must waste no time in eradicating this shocking practice in the interests of patients and staff.”
@theRCN responds to our call to end the normalisation of unacceptable and dangerous 'Corridor Care' 👇

We are on @MetroUK front page and in other media channels today because we have made it clear that the NHS temporary escalation spaces (TES) guide is "normalisation of what is an unacceptable and dangerous situation" @RCEMpresident. 👇 Links below.
Our healthcare workers and their patients deserve better. Share the news stories to show that you think so, too!

Long overdue reform of adult #socialcare could play a significant role in cutting these dreadful hospital waiting list figures by providing care where people need it and freeing up hospital beds.
We need change now.

Ingredients for a fantastic ICU Consultant Career, a brief 🧵 :
1. A unit that opens the year you start (September 24 to be precise). 10 beds: All side rooms, full HBN spec. Paperless. Staff facilities/offices/ training space &roof gardens off the unit. ED below /HOB next door
This is the definitive tick list I think

.@cmo_england puts a geographical spin on the challenge posed by demographic transition: ageing population is distributed spatially unequally, so health and care system's response will need to be too #ntsummit
Never looks well that fella! Great work team - really important educational event.
