We welcome the commitment from the Secretary of Health and Social Care to fully eradicate corridor care by 2029. We now need to see words matched with action.

"Pressures in emergency services are felt more in rural and coastal areas."

@YSTeachingNHS, @UniOfYork and @unibirmingham will be using £1.2 million of national funding to investigate how urgent and emergency care could be improved in more rural areas, like Scarborough.

[Royal College of Emergency Medicine @RCollEM]

“Care delivered in corridors and other non-clinical spaces is unsafe, undignified and unacceptable. It violates the privacy of patients and leaves staff without access to essential, life-saving equipment. There are no circumstances under which it constitutes good, safe care.

“What once used to be an exceptional circumstance, is now happening regularly in our hospitals. Health leaders and the secretary of state must waste no time in eradicating this shocking practice in the interests of patients and staff.”

@theRCN responds to our call to end the normalisation of unacceptable and dangerous 'Corridor Care' 👇

Much more than beds, beds, beds frankly

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

@RCollEM @CommonsHealth @AndrewGeorge_ @RCEMpresident It’s also about decisions, decisions, decisions and risk, risk, risk. We need to make sure we are all making balanced judgements when deciding a patient needs to stay in hospital.

Welcome EMSAS to Scarborough - hopefully you are having valuable and educational time away from the challenges of the shop floor!

[RCEM Events @RCEMevents]

What a great start to the @EMSAS_RCEM conference! This morning features a knowledgeable panel, with @SmithEdsmith kicking things off with a fantastic talk on the acute medical model in the newly built UECC. If you're watching online, let us know where you're joining from 💻⬇️

[#HellomynameisKath @SartainKj]

[York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS FT @YSTeachingNHS]

Our Scarborough UECC Project Team is named as Team of the Year (Non-Clinical).

The team behind this project exemplified outstanding teamwork to create a facility that will transform healthcare on the coast.

A big thank you to @JohnWrightLtd for sponsoring this award.

[Ed Smith @SmithEdsmith]

Feedback from this course is consistently excellent

[Phil Dickinson @drpjdickinson]

Last few years of speciality training? 2 days of targeted interactive education that will make you an even better consultant …. Our feedback hopefully speaks for itself. “Fabulous” “one of the best courses…” “ Thoroughly enjoyed both days.. very enlightened, I have to say”

[York & Scarborough Hospital Research & Innovation @YorkResearch]

We’ve been busy with our new initiative, SHARC. Please meet some of our new Research Patient & Public Involvement Panel, helping us & our researchers. We held a full days training on Monday to learn about their involvement. @NIHRinvolvement @NIHR_ARC_YH @CMSmith215 @joycefoxxxx

A truly incredible spectacle tonight; the Aurora over Scarborough, with lightning illuminating far off clouds and shooting stars all visible together! Pic copyright: Visit Scarborough

[Mike Padgham @Mike_Padgham]

Long overdue reform of adult #socialcare could play a significant role in cutting these dreadful hospital waiting list figures by providing care where people need it and freeing up hospital beds.
We need change now.

Ingredients for a fantastic ICU Consultant Career, a brief 🧵 :

1. A unit that opens the year you start (September 24 to be precise). 10 beds: All side rooms, full HBN spec. Paperless. Staff facilities/offices/ training space &roof gardens off the unit. ED below /HOB next door

[Ed Smith @SmithEdsmith]

@AbbieSBrooks Thanks for highlighting this in these terms - much better than sending the 2016 contract letter which is just antagonistic and pitches GPs and the hospital against each other. This will be the focus of the NY&Y interface work-delivering for our patients.

[Ed Smith @SmithEdsmith]

This is the definitive tick list I think

[✨ Donna Hall ✨ @ProfDonnaHall]

The relationship between manager & staff is the most highly correlated factor in happiness at work. A top boss:
- delegates with confidence
- praises great work
- doesn’t micromanage
- champions, elevates & inspires
- steps forward when needed
- steps back to watch others shine

[Graham Martin @Graham_P_Martin]

.@cmo_england puts a geographical spin on the challenge posed by demographic transition: ageing population is distributed spatially unequally, so health and care system's response will need to be too #ntsummit

[Ed Smith @SmithEdsmith]

Never looks well that fella! Great work team - really important educational event.
