Some causes of burnout

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

After working in A&E for just a little over a month, I thought I'd share my experiences as one of the front line doctors facing the current/ongoing crisis happening across our country.

A quarter through my placement, I already feel burned out and morally fatigued.

1/20.

Only thing getting me through this rotten flu is watching Michael Scott and the gang being the best paper selling crew in all of Scranton

Labour is hiking taxes on billionaires.

Don’t be distracted by the farmers protesting in Westminster. Inheritance tax on farmland means the super rich will pay their fair share.

Here’s who’s most affected:

Re-opening corridor nursing after months of managing without is just heartbreaking. We NEED changes to improve our NHS services for the sake of the public and the staff

[Royal College of Emergency Medicine @RCollEM]

What has been seen today on @C4Dispatches is sadly not isolated.Our members are doing their best in a system in crisis. It should galvanise those who form the next Goverment into action. This is not okay. This should not be normalised. Patients & our members deserve better

[Chris Elston @ChrisElston1912]

I would hand my NMC pin back tomorrow, if I could. Just need to fond a job that pays enough and interests me. Cannot provide the standard of care my patients deserve. Never enough equipment, staff or capacity and nobody is listening. #c4dispatches

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Yesterday the local paper published a story and a video showing the conditions of the A&E where I work; over 30 in a corridor and patients waiting days for a bed

This is NOT the fault of the staff who work there; from managers to nurses to doctors, we are trying out best in appalling conditions.

The crisis seen is a systematic failure of the NHS which is replicated in A&Es up and down the country and on every single day of the year now.

Its happening ultimately because of political decisions.

We are lucky that we live in a democracy. Soon we will have the chance to decide if we wish to continue with the current policies which have led the NHS to the precipice of destruction or vote for change.

It doesn’t need to be like this. The NHS can be saved but only if the public demand our politicians make the changes needed.

If anyone has any words of wisdom or tips and tricks for me to regain my love and passion for nursing, I would be very grateful. #IND2024

On my first International Nurse’s Day as a Registered Nurse I am at my worst with my MH. 8 months into my career post-qualifying and I’m considering whether I made a mistake.

[Karolina Staniecka @karolinaviolet]

I know this cannot be just an ED nursing problem, but so far this has been my only experience that I can reflect on.

“all of us are vulnerable to these errors in distracting, multitask environments because our attention cannot be on everything at once”

Thank you for this article, very interesting and intriguing read.

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

Approx 1 in 400 hospital admissions has a serious medical or surgical error

Many are preventable by good team working, effective communication and optimising performance

Here's a short article we've written about human factors, safety & fallibility:

The diverse clinical skills and knowledge sets needed in between band 5 RN roles is extreme between specialities. As much as I respect and appreciate every and all RNs I do believe there should be some discussion around competency based incentives and a pay scale to reflect this.

[The RCN @theRCN]

We’ve responded to the UK government consultation on a new nursing pay spine.

Nursing needs a fresh start and a new place in health care.
