For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
Who remembers when "24 Hours in A&E" was the name of a Channel 4 TV program, and not the average length of time an emergency department patient has to wait for a ward bed?
@PickstockT Cheers Tony. I think we’re as ready as we can be, just waiting for the seemingly inevitable onslaught. We work with amazing people and I’ve got no doubt it will bring out the best in them. It’s hard not knowing exactly how bad it will get, but we’re all in the same boat there!
Our new child friendly display on COVID-19 in Paediatric ED. Thank you Sister Katie for this display to inform our patients and their grown ups 🏥👨⚕️👩⚕️❤
*Breaking transfer news* Whiston ED have confirmed the departure of Stephen Renwick on a free transfer to the Acute Medical Unit. He will go straight into the squad for the GPAU shift on Wednesday. #Changeover
@notSOemergency@NikkiAbela Haha it’s a great cause well done. Is it a race or are you just gonna knock out an impromptu half after work one day😉? Sad to say no more A&E nights for me for 18months. I’ll miss our crew!
