It is getting emotionally exhausting to treat patients in corridor, chairs and on back of the ambulances. Our patients deserve better care and dignity.
NHS short staffing is associated with at least 4,000 extra deaths annually, shown in @CUH_NHS and @UniOfSurrey@bmj_latest research.
High staff turnover and reliance on agency workers are leading to severe consequences, especially in A&Es.
There is an urgent need for a stable and well-staffed workforce to ensure patient safety and quality care #ResuscitateEmergencyCare

Called plumber for boiler repair. Social hours £95/hr and anti-social hours £125/hr (VAT not included) and that’s the cheapest quote I have got. Let’s compare this to what doctors get paid hourly ��
@naeimhos Congratulations @naeimhos
So proud of you ❤️
From now onwards I know who to message for advice on dodgy ECGs that I have to sign on shop floor😝
@clifford0584 2. All ED should have a pathway to directly refer patients to specialities from triage if appropriate
3.when specialities or GP are asking patients to attend ED, don’t feed them that they ll get CT/MRI/ neurology review or etc
4. More virtual/hospital at home/rapid access clinic
@clifford0584 Our job is mainly risk assessment and its management. Our role is dynamic and it keeps changing to meet the demand of the department. I think in UK few things that will help us do our job better is
1. Direct access to specialties for patients with complex clinical needs.
What a painful watch. I am glad @RCEMpresident was part of this documentary, raising our concerns. It’s a shame that corridor medicine has become a norm.Our patients deserve better care
