#HappyFriday Huge shoutout to RCEM Member Lottie. She's shared how her team celebrated #EmergencyMedicineDay with a competition for the best #EMJoke with RCEM Merch prizes!

🦸 Then, the week after, Lottie and her team in Countess of Chester ED did a 5k Inflatable Run together dressed as superheroes! Awesome #TeamED effort.

It’s brilliant to hear member stories, get in touch for a shoutout - email: 📨 [email protected].

See the rest of this 🧵 thread for the competition-winning jokes.

It has been 3 months, they still have not paid me. I feel so defeated, I just want to be paid for the work I did. If there were any criminal issues, how could they have let me work in psych for 4 months? If anyone has any advice on how I should approach this, pls let me know

[Juliana Ang @Juliana__Ang]

I tried to fight them on this, because I do not want to work with them ever, I simply want to be paid for the locum shift I did. Now, they are asking me for an overseas police check, because I haven't lived in the UK for 10 years.

📣 RSV vaccination programme announced! 📣#CampaignWin

This is a crucial step to protect children’s health & reduce pressure on the NHS during winter.

Thank you to the 2,000+ paediatricians & healthcare professionals who signed our open letter & helped make this happen.

Every winter we see our services at breaking point due to illnesses caused by viruses such as RSV. An RSV vaccination programme could be transformative.

We need your help to persuade the UK Government to make this a reality.

I'm an A&E consultant and I'm tired after a weekend of nights.

But this am, I've handed over what I described as a "good department". This was said genuinely and with no hint of irony.

We provided great care and have very short waits to see an A&E doctor, but I'd forgotten how unacceptable it was to have 18 patients in the corridor, and elderly patients waiting over 2 days for a ward bed.

My lens of what is good and acceptable has been slowly warped by the slow & damaging effect of the working conditions of A&E departments up and down the country.

My biggest worry is that I'm starting to accept the unacceptable.

This is not about a lack of gp appointments, patients "abusing" the system or poor management - in fact we had excellent hospital management support, with patients boarding on each ward waiting there instead of A&E for a bed.

This is a simple case of patient demand being greater than what the overall health economy can cope with.

We have to either change the way we work, change demand via expectation management or increase resources.

If not, then the unacceptable becomes the norm and that's unacceptable.

Our patients and staff deserve better.

Lots of great laughs and great learning

Thankful for the opportunity to present a poster on how closed-loop tech has applications in #anaesthesia & #intensivecaremedicine

Great conference by The Liv Society of Anaesthetists & the Mersey School of Anaesthesia. Beautiful venue @RCPspaces.

What if being a doctor was less about arrogance and more about humility? And being a patient was less about deference and more about agency? It's time to reboot and upgrade the role of doctors & patients for the 21st century for better care and addressing health inequalities.

Stopped by @LSTMnews to say hi to @Amina_Ismail22 & @MiriamTaegtmeye. Proud to have been part of the initial vaccine equity project & amazing to see how it's extended to various health equity issues relating to chilhood vaccines, breast & cervical screening across Liverpool.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @LeedsHospitals @TheCountessNHS sends locum f1 shifts out to a select group of F1 colleagues, they refuse to add me to the WhatsApp group where they post these shifts (despite my numerous requests) and I'm not on the mailing list for these locum shifts as well 🤷‍♀️

As more children fall prey to the dangerous trend of vaping, we need to take action to protect their health.

Countries like Australia, Singapore & Thailand have banned recreational vaping and it's time for the UK to follow suit.

#BanDisposableVapes

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

Youth vaping is fast becoming an epidemic, with disposable e-cigarettes the top choice for children and young people.

We're calling for a ban on disposable e-cigarette products to protect children's health and the environment. #BanDisposableVapes
