What does NP mean?

[Anne McLaughlin NP @AnneMcLaughlin]

More of this and each of us as SNP members must share widely.

@ProfJWR Thank you for taking down the article, it was grossly inaccurate. As someone that enjoys your work I was surprised to see it as you're usually diligent in fact checking. If you want more on this I can provide details, feel free to ask.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@Peroda813 @ProfJWR It's a shame, I read there's a newspaper doing a story on his story because it appears to mislead readers.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

Hi @ProfJWR, I work at the QEUH. Patients are placed on trolleys in corridors, they are also frequently treated in corridors whilst waiting for free rooms. Ignoring this problem because it's embarrassing don't help patients or staff.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@ProfJWR It's disappointing that you're willing to mislead, I value your work but this has really saddened me to see you do this in the name of some media war you're fighting. I wouldn't call an average of 12 hours short term, but then again, I'm not the one speculating.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@ProfJWR Are you able to respond to my messages about the incorrect claims on trolleys?

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@groo_on Having three patients being treated in the corridor beside the cleaning cupboard isn't exactly the best situation. All waiting there incase a bed becomes available inside the ward, if not, sent to another ward.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@groo_on No, it's not, that's entirely what the report is about? Did you read it? Did you think they meant the basement?

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@groo_on @ProfJWR The QEUH, the same hospital that has recently implemented the 'GlasFLOW' continuous flow model. What this means is that, to reduce overcapacity at the A&E, patients are placed into corridors on wards as a means of spreading the risk around the building.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@ProfJWR Hi John, have messaged you, your article on patients in corridors not happening in Scotland is inaccurate.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

Patients are on trolleys in corridors at the QEUH often, to claim it doesn't happen is wishful thinking.

[Joyce Ransley @JoyceRansl92082]

@HarryMolloy8 This has not ever happened in Scotland England yes

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@JoyceRansl92082 @HarryMolloy8 Joyce, this happens in almost every ward at the QEUH, how on Earth can you claim it doesn't happen in Scotland?!

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@HarryMolloy8 Please be aware, this article is incorrect. We often treat patients in ward corridors as they wait for a room to become available, it's part of the GlasFLOW 'continuous flow' model. The author of the blog has got this one wrong.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@ProfJWR It is incredibly worrying you're not addressing this.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@speelingmstake Yes this is very concerning, I have no idea why John is pretending otherwise.

[Hospital Worker @qeuhworker]

@ProfJWR This happens in my ward daily, you're really off base with this one.
