@EM_Dr_Jacklin I would interpret as Consultant / SAS being the sustainable model. Whilst resident/ training contracts are maximised to provide “training opportunities” (generous interpretation) / “rota fill” (cynical view)

Ambulance drop-and-go policies won’t fix anything in the long run and hide the lack of meaningful action. Hundreds of patients each week are dying in association with overcrowding in EDs. How about fixing the actual problem? @RCollEM 1/3

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@DrLKVaughan @TJCoats Continues to play to the tired trope of “inappropriate attendances”. It’s past time for Gov /NHS leaders to bite the bullet and accept that we need more beds/ staff (GP and hospital) and an honest conversation about what the NHS can and can’t provide. Current situation untenable.

@imagineinquiry My eldest son’s school have a set list of equipment, available to borrow from if missing/lost. No punishment/ sanction to borrow if identified at morning tutor group. Good balance between personal student responsibility and letting classes start promptly later in the day IMO.

@chebbes Just wait til they start waxing your nose hairs…

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@jmesillett @ShaunLintern Very much agree Jamie! I’m most shocked that it is “only” 120 applicants. A recent vacancy locally had >1000 applicants for a fixed term position. There is no shortage of good candidates, just lack of funding to create positions despite desperate need.

Everything about this makes me sad.

Did anyone ask the public:

Would you prefer £50 million spent reducing your time in A&E by 30 minutes if you're discharged or

If admitted, reducing the 12 hours you'll spend waiting for a bed?

@Damian_Roland @CharlesTTHF Everything about this exemplifies Goodhart’s law. It is infuriating!

Pointless nudging a standard set at a level that isn’t improving long waits for our sickest patients, whilst “encouraging” hospitals to focus on the least sick. Patients can wait more than a day for a bed. How about being ambitious, and focusing on the root causes of crowding?

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@liambarker Policies like this, presumably aiming to control demand, just increase work for another specialty/ department/ GPs. It just adds more inefficiency for everyone as we all get bogged down jumping through needless hoops. This is where real efficiency savings can be made IMO.

[David Hartin @davehartin]

I haven't done a poll in ages but here's a second one:

In your NHS ED, are you testing for airborne respiratory viruses in patients with a suspicion of COVID/Flu/RSV etc

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@davehartin Only need isolation after leaving the ED of course…

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@sintydavid That’s a retirement plan..

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@PhysioTodd Absolutely not. The organisation is paid to have students, that funds trainers salaries. Students pay for the privilege of being there. A thank you is a nice touch but should not be an expectation

[Aaron Green @DocG85]

@cruncherwax @Dr_BellaR Time off and complete respite from offending situations if reached the point where burnout has detrimental effect on you. Talking therapies can be useful in this stage. As a prophylaxis ensuring regular breaks from high intensity work during your work is pattern essential.
