Would surgeons accept two patients in an Opertaing theatre?

Would intensive cares have two patients sharing one cubicle space?

Would oncologists accept other patients in the corner of their consultation and room when breaking bad news?

Of course no to all three - but in A&E we accept corridor care and it's unacceptable

We have to change what's happening to our nhs

Patients aged 65+ remain the largest group of major trauma patients nationally ...

❗️low mechanisms of injury
❗️altered physiology
❗️pharmacology
❗️often ill as well as injured

🤔 consider..

❗️falls from standing
❗️existing conditions/norms
❗️impact zone

Great work @WWLNHS

[GM MTN @GMMajorTrauma]

We’ve seen a significant increase in major trauma cases over the last 10 days across all of our sites

Don’t take risks

Take care in the home

Wear protective equipment for DIY

Be vigilant on the roads

Supervise small children

Know your limits

Busy weekend just gone @EastCheshireNHS. Everyone working there was there for one reason - caring for the patients. Whatever deficiencies the NHS has, folks, remember - if you are in need of us we are here for you. @Jeremy_Hunt would do well to remember this!
