The Oracle of Wigan ED Mandy Ahmed has been presented with the lifetime achievement award - This is so very deserved for everything you have done and do for ED 🙌👏 x

[Alex Prescott @Alexpresc1]

@LynamJenny @Amandaahmed2 Thank you! I will miss you all as well! I won’t be a stranger don’t worry!

[Alex Prescott @Alexpresc1]

A sad day me leaving @wwl_ecc! And my last shift ever as a HCA! Learned so much from the best team ever, and I have a feeling I’ll be back someday!

[WWL EMERGENCY CARE 💙 @wwl_ecc]

A bittersweet goodbye today to our HCA Alex. We are unbelievably proud that he has successfully completed his medical degree whilst working in our ED over the past 4 years.

We know you are going to make the best doctor!

The ED team will miss you 🥲

Well done Doc 👏🏻

[Alex Prescott @Alexpresc1]

@RebeccaSomers10 Thank you! I’ve learned so much from you! Hope you’re always at the end of the phone for when I’m in a pickle!

[Rebecca Somers @RebeccaSomers10]

Over the years I have seen the transition of Alex asking a thousand questions to telling me a thousand facts of every symptom and disease we encounter.
His passionate & dedication are a credit & I know it will make him one amazing doctor!
Go get em Alex! So proud of you 😊👏🏻

⚡️Lightning Learning⚡️

Our senior HCA's Alex and Kerry teaching scribing in Resus.

Sharing knowledge and teaching skills 👌

[Dr Robert Laurenson @RobLaurensonD4P]

Doctors are asking for approximately:

£14/hr --> £19/hr
£16/hr --> £22/hr
£19/hr --> £25/hr
£24/hr --> £32/hr
£28/hr --> £38/hr

That's £5/hr - £10/hr restoration.

That's not going to break the bank.

It's £1bn.

Lord knows the Government have spaffed up the wall much more.

[Alex Prescott @Alexpresc1]

Maybe medical school isn’t that hard after all?

The Emergency Village was honoured to receive the Board of Directors award at last night WWL STAR Awards ⭐️.

Thank you so much to all our student supporters who have assisted with the July 2023 diet of the IMC examinations!

Nothing says NHS like a slice of a Colin the Caterpillar cake served on a piece of hand towel.

ICU stories (from the trenches): It's been a bit more than 2 hrs in your night shift & you are checking some labs signed out to you to be followed on. A rapid response is called for "agitation" in Rm 666; in less than a minute the operator calls for a "Code Blue" in the same room

Med students/prospective med students of Twitter - a lot of the loudest voices on here are about the negatives of the job. Yes it has its challenges, yes there’s a lot to be fixed, BUT there are way more people who enjoy what they do and wouldn’t do anything else. I promise you.
