We really need to stop making it so hard for NHS staff to go to work

A huge number of NHS workers have to cope with inadequate public transport, insufficient and unsafe parking for cars and bikes, and exorbitant costs

Something needs to be done urgently - please RT if you agree

@ShaunLintern Fine as long as every new ambulance that comes we get to send a patient to AMU. In turn AMU can send one to a specialty ward and in turn again they have to discharge one.

[Jamie Sillett @jmesillett]

@jim_crawfurd @ShaunLintern Delays in offload are rarely caused by the ED these days… if we could offload ambulances we would, and pressure from management or from ambulance services fails to acknowledge most ED’s are simply full and there is no space.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

If this is Labour's plan for managing the looming winter crisis, then I am horrified.

This isn't fixing the problem, it's passing the buck, placing intolerable pressures on my colleagues in A&E & risking the lives of the patients stranded in corridors.

The relative risk of ambulance “drop and go” policies vs a more balanced harm reduction approach is unknown. The solution is ⬆️ hospital capacity (more beds, shortened length of stay), not increasing tension within stressed systems. An Emergency Department is not a tardis. 2/3

@nancybbakes Can also make in a slow cooker - 30 to 45 mins on high setting with the lid slightly off so it doesn’t go soggy!

[GazaMedicVoices @GazaMedicVoices]

Israeli troops have directly targeted medical staff in Gaza while they are at work. Here a colleague describes how the ambulance he was in came under attack. He was shot three times and has been left with a devastating leg injury which cannot be properly treated in Gaza.

📢"I will not accept normalisation of this awful phenomenon ... it genuinely doesn’t have to be like this."

@RCEM_VP Dr Ian Higginson explains why RCEM has updated its guidance on Emergency Department crowding.

Extraordinary!

Lord Bethell (@JimBethell) who told the #CovidInquiry that he’d lost his WhatsApp messages because his phone was lost, then broken, then given away, then erased, has managed to dig up a message from @MichelleMone & posted it to defend @RishiSunak

Rats in a sack!

🚨RCEM has called on Government to make additional funding available to increase bed numbers @RCEMpresident

This comes as @julianhartley1 @NHSProviders shared his concern that Trusts are having to make difficult choices this winter.

Full statement here: https://t.co/LaQ64inNQc

[Hannah Bienias @hanbean80]

Absolutely dreading winter. We are already shuffling patients and it’s only September 😫

[Royal College of Emergency Medicine @RCollEM]

🏥Overcrowding is dangerous and puts our clinicians and their patients in a difficult position. 🧵

This horrific crime has brought to focus the adverse challenges and experiences that doctors, and other healthcare professionals, face when they identify and act on concerns about patient safety.

Got back to Brum from Greenland, then was burgaled while sleeping. All camera gear, laptops, cards, passports, taken. My lovely van too: crucial to kayak trips & full of gear. It's distinctive, so if anyone near spots this grey VW Transporter with kayak racks please get in touch!
