I have just finished another set of incredibly difficult weekend nights as the A&E consultant incharge.

Some thoughts:

The NHS no longer provides unscheduled care - we provide treatment. Care is with dignity - that's impossible for our patients in corridors.

The model of acute care is not working or sustainable. We need a completely different approach - with long term investment in prevention and community care

111 need to change risk thresholds as far too many come to a&e when they don't need to.

There needs to be alternative pathways to get care overnight for those who don't have accidents or emergencies. A&E shouldn't be anything and everything

Staff are broke - supporting staff is just as vital as looking after patients

This government have totally decimated our the NHS. They are the ones who should be apologising to our patients not our staff.

Hundreds are dying each week because of lack of hospital capacity and corridor care in a&e, yet it's not on the news and no public uproar. As staff and patients we have accepted the unacceptable.

Everyone needs to know the reality of what is happening - so that politicians offer a different solution and patients get the care they deserve. Sadly most of the public have no idea of what is genuinely going on.

And finally, a post night fry up is the best antidote for the stresses of the weekend. Goodnight!

Did you know that lymphoedema - a condition which causes swelling in the body - can develop during cancer treatment?

Healthcare professionals can find out how to help prevent and manage the condition by watching the short video 👇

Ready now for @thecsp strike day tomorrow! I wish we didn’t have to do this but @SteveBarclay and @RishiSunak still haven’t done the right thing yet! Please come out and support us outside @SONHStrust and help save our NHS! #CSP4FairPay #NHSStrikes

[Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) @thecsp]

If the Government doesn’t address pay fairly then we risk losing even more valuable health workers, when our NHS simply can’t afford to.

@LukeTPhysio on why he is taking part in strike action.

Fantastic demonstration by Physiotherapists at UCLH.

Most of them on strike for the first time in their lives.

I spoke to several whose parents had never been on strike in their lives.

This is big.

After Mum's heart attack yesterday, I am putting this out there.

Heart Attacks present differently in Women, and if my Dad hadn't acted as quickly as he had, things may have been a very different story today.

Therese Coffey said this morning, nursing staff will be the ones to decide to strike. She is right. The time to vote is now – we will not let politicians silence us. Return your ballot today to say enough is enough. https://t.co/CtcPu1tAal

Cervical screening checks for certain types of the HPV virus that can cause cell changes to your cervix. Cell changes are easily treated and this prevents cervical cancer.

As we head into winter (and Christmas…)- there’s a strong corporate current pushing us to consume more & more. Like buying more stuff is what life is about & will bring happiness. Instead of basic security of peace, home, heating, food, job, health and close relationships.
