In an A and E department of a Liverpool hospital, people are lying in pain on the floor, waiting hours to be seen by a doctor

This is a daily reality of the NHS crisis

secondary care tweeps, did you know you can find GP bypass numbers here: https://t.co/uaboVo0EYs

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

The uncomfortable truth that dare not be said is that many do not need to see a GP or attend A&E. Society is now about the individual not the whole. We’ve seen it for years- “so what if there’s dying people in Resus? What about my sprained ankle?”.

@BBCHughPym While the aims of this plan are inarguably the right ones, the capacity just isn’t there in the system and I fear this might just trigger an exodus of staff from primary care

@RCEMpresident @RCollEM So sad to see the system in this state. So sad to be apologising all the time to patients who we can’t provide with timely care, a safe environment or sufficient privacy and dignity. And it’s not even winter yet 😔

[Tom Larsen @DrTomLarsen]

@Adam16031 @Louise243 @mazwilko1 @seahorse4000 Yeah, why let the patient choose, what could they possibly know about their medical problems and treatment needs that a GP can’t guess down the phone 🙄
