EM Cons in Lothian. All about the softer side of EM- frequent attenders, alcohol/drug, public health etc. Views my own. She/her

[Adam Boulton @AdamBoulton17]

Key output from my PhD fellowship has been published in Resuscitation

TLDR:
🚨 Prehospital critical care teams were less likely to attend cardiac arrest patients in more deprived neighbourhoods.
🚨 No association with neighbourhood ethnicity

[Emergency Medicine at the Deep End @EMAtTheDeepEnd]

With @TheDrMagazine, we've spoken about the impact of the social determinants of health in emergency care, and a path to positive change.

Not about fixing all the flaws of society, but recognising this is core to Emergency Medicine, and advocating for change.

[Emergency Medicine at the Deep End @EMAtTheDeepEnd]

Social intervention at the reachable moment of ED attendance changes lives, and benefits health systems.

In the year after @NavigatorsScot, emergency reattendence falls and planned care rises. Now needs sustained funding of these programmes as integral part of emergency care.

[Ryan McHenry @rymchenry]

Providing support for people who turn to emergency care in times of crisis feels like the right thing to do. But we still know little about how it impacts people and health systems.

A short 🧵 on a new paper with @DrGoodalltweets in @EJ_EmergencyMed.

[Prof Christine Goodall @DrGoodalltweets]

Article by @rymchenry & @DrGoodalltweets ‘Changes in emergency healthcare use following intervention by Navigator…’ in @EJ_EmergencyMed shows reduced emergency & acute healthcare use in year following intervention

[Waterstones Braehead @WaterstonesBrae]

We also have signed copies of Cat Lover by @danspencrwritr! How can you resist silica cute cover and intriguing premise?!

[Emergency Medicine at the Deep End @EMAtTheDeepEnd]

It's clear that social deprivation increases presentations to emergency care, and now more evidence that alleviating poverty reduces emergency attendance and supports planned care.

The challenge now is to move beyond trials and implement this as policy https://t.co/IJCFCDjR3q
