HiSLAC final report available now @NIHRresearch: We found that hospital specialist availability is not the cause of the #weekendeffect but associated with factors in the community https://t.co/grywjuK9u3

“…it is the whole patient pathway which is of interest, not just isolated segments.” 12/12

The availability of consultants is not the cause of the so-called 'weekend effect' in hospitals, the @HiSLACProject led by Prof Julian Bion (@unibirmingham Professor of Intensive Care Medicine) has established. Read the paper: https://t.co/rAZjt7UL2t #AcuteCare #HospitalAdmission

@DrLKVaughan @doctorcaldwell @a_ottaway @DrUmeshPrabhu @TheKingsFund @PAG1962 @Jeremy_Hunt Here's the link to one of the papers @DrLKVaughan is referring to. The @HiSLACProject team have also done a lot of great working digging deeper into weekend care and associated outcomes. https://t.co/R3GjLv41Oy

@LizSule Congratulations Dr Sutton from all the HiSLAC team 👏👏👏

Future studies about the ‘weekend effect’ should be designed to help target interventions that improve care, say Perla J Marang-van de Mheen and @VincentCharlesA: https://t.co/QDDJCx6DW1

"The weekend effect is only important as a potential marker of other problems...Following the example
of the study by Bion et al, future studies could directly
assess standards of care and the factors that most
powerfully influence quality..." 2/3
