What he said

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

Intravenous fluids are not a helpful treatment in a patient with postural/orthostatic hypotension who is not actively bleeding. There. I’ve said it.

@ashleighlowther @JThambyrajah But if able to be sent away and given an appt, should that appt be an emergency one or primary care or sdec?

[Matt Baker @Mattbaker1976]

@JThambyrajah Out of interest were you able to manage the patients problem in primary care?

Does anyone have capacity for a keen University of Southampton first year physiotherapy student on their first placement? It is a 5 week placement starting on the 5th June. We have 3 unplaced!
Any help gratefully received!

Michael Marsh - @NHSSW medical director came to see us at Royal Bournemouth Hospital @UHD_NHS last Friday. Great to show you the building development but also talk to junior doctors on their 1st day in ED with consultant colleagues. 60% of patients from outside Dorset - 🙏

If you have an injury that is not life-threatening, you can get help from a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) rather than going to our Emergency Department. This will allow us to concentrate on those who need us the most. Find your nearest MIU: https://t.co/yaz2X0AONN
