@PemburyDoc Love to you and the girls.

[Claire Gray @CLSGray]

@PemburyDoc Fantastic news. Well done M! Good luck with the interview.

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

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...

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

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

@PemburyDoc What about “hold your whisht”?!

[Just Soph @sophie_runs]

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.

@PemburyDoc Hope you get well soon.

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.

[David Hartin @davehartin]

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.

Scarred.

Powerful. Disturbing. Thank you.

Our belief is that #Wellbeing for our team isn’t window dressing but bricks & mortar: tangible differences to working lives. In 2020 we’ve improved

Now Charing Cross ED has built a garden: E-DEN

[Martin Vernon @runnermandoc]

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

[Claire Gray @CLSGray]

@perkleberry @NorthMidNHS So sorry to hear this Sarah. Sending much love to you and your family. x

@4hrEmergencyDoc Loving what @KirstyChallen suggested. Then gin.

Panic buying is a symptom of a dysfunctional society diseased with individualism

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?!

A fortress of toilet paper will not protect you

Thanks to scientists like @emmalodowd, more people living with lung cancer can expect to live better for longer. #womeninscience

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? https://t.co/yjnAFon5LQ

[Royal College of Emergency Medicine @RCollEM]

“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."
