Fantastic work by @DrJimboWalton and the team. This can work can often go unnoticed whilst we all focus on the pressures we face in emergency medicine, so it’s nice to see it be given the attention it deserves!

Things like this remind why the NHS is still great despite its many many failings.

We need to get rid of “facility fees” & “hospital outpatient departments”. It’s another 🏥 scam.

The hospital is full to the rafters, you arrive despondent for your shift. Then you see your team for the night. It’s full of your favourite people.

The radiators, the empaths, the funny folk, top notch banter legends. You know that you are going to have a cracking shift

One of our clever managers looked at a recent few weeks when our discharges went drastically up and almost cleared the ED corridor. It was actually because there was an identical peak of community deaths freeing up carers and nursing homes and other beds.

We are striving to become a @GreenED_uk with @RCollEM. Lots of great work going on!

[NorthumbriaNHS @NorthumbriaNHS]

Please note that Alnwick Infirmary’s minor injuries unit will close from 7.45am on Saturday February 24 until 7.45am on Sunday February 25.

The trust is hoping to be able to keep the minor injuries unit open on Sunday February 25, and is doing what it can to do so.

[NorthumbriaNHS @NorthumbriaNHS]

From today, junior doctors will take strike action until Wednesday 28th February.

Please keep A&E for life-threatening emergencies and consider other options, such as 111 online, or your local pharmacy.

If we haven't contacted you, please attend your appointment as usual.
