@Adelphauk@ThomasJPaddock Well, from my experience personally, I don’t just get my patients put in a call stack. I directly speak to the GP to ensure the patient gets the appropriate care required. I.e medications or referrals 🙂
@ParaPaul78 Yes, it absolutely does. Demand outweighing capacity at the moment so lots of people are being directed to 111 when trying to get hold of an appointment with their own GP 🙂 and I think it’s more receptionists than the GPs/clinicians themselves 👍🏻
Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

I love this job but also really really hate it at times. Been sat outside A&E with a patient that has a (quite clearly) # NOF for 6hrs now. Not even an x-ray done. Can’t help but feel like we’re completely failing people
Seeing elderly people on their own this time of year with no one around just absolutely breaks my heart 😭 kinda wana adopt them all and make them a nice Christmas dinner 🥺
Sorry but if you don’t do the job you have NO right to pass comment on the strikes. You have 0 idea what we are going through. All we want is whats deserved, and to give patients the best care possible. But due to the state of things at the moment - it feels IMPOSSIBLE 😒
@ruththorpey@spiceblackford 100% agree, EOC can only go by what they are told at the time of the call. However when you do arrive and find out the truth has been twisted to get an ambulance quicker (literally said in their own words), it’s kinda soul destroying 😒
Imagine being sent to a fit & healthy 30 year old with a cold who’s is MORE than capable of self managing at home, whilst an 80 year old with clear evidence of a stroke is still waiting for an ambulance 6hrs later 🙃 and people are wondering where we are going wrong.

@Tyson_Fury has a very simple message for you if you’re not a fan of his language… 🤫

Well done, @JustStop_Oil. Our consultant surgeon friend is stuck on the M25 right now and unable to get to his clinic which he’ll now have to cancel. Do you even care about his poor cancer patients?
