Concern among amb trusts that paramedics may "defect" to primary care - not sure the impact of this scheme has been fully thought through https://t.co/1PeeZiloOn
Mental health nurse Anna and #paramedic Dan are one of our mental health joint response crews.
Here, MH nurses respond with paramedics to 999 calls. This is reducing unnecessary and stressful hospital trips and improving the care we provide.

Please help us to help you at a busy time.
If you need urgent medical help, but you don't need an emergency ambulance - or you're not sure what to do - go to NHS111 online (https://t.co/oWFZ4iE4Ef) first for the right help for your needs.

We continue to see increasing pressure on our ED. All health and social care professionals please think of using alternative pathways for our patients. 📞 our @CareCoordinati1 for an @CrisRapid 2 hour response for any admission avoidance clinical support @OFFICIALWMAS@drziadin
Vivek, couldn't agree more, we all need to get involved. We must create opportunity along the entire pathway to stop the inevitable ED admission. I see the ambulance service being paramout here .. if recognise ED not appropriate .. don't transport !
@VivekKhashu @ECISTNetwork West Mids Ambulance have done some amazing work on ED avoidance in collaboration with SWFT and ICS partners .. need this to evolve into normal practice ..

Absolutely fantastic collection of initiatives that aid the correct avoidance of ED and appropriate patient disposition. Some amazing work here by ambulance and wider system colleagues .. now needs to ensure they are appropriately evaluated and commissioned if successful ..

Get more on @swasFT's placement of #MentalHealth Practitioners providing #care in the #Clinical Hub, whereby #MH Nurses from @AWPNHS support the increased frequency of patients calling with #MH presentations, and also reduce the impact on their resources.

@Pega_sus7 @rcpsych I was discussing just this the other day with colleagues .. agree entirely terminology is not currently helpful .. its ambiguous, non threshold specific and open to varying interpretations.. all unhelpful in a clinical setting.. suggested "severely agitated delerium" ?
Still time to register to today’s (and the next 4) webinar.
The creator of the #SAFER patient flow bundle @PeteGordon68 is joined by @DrGenever for the first session, looking at S - All patients have a senior review every day
@MikeStone2_EoL @NWAmb_Kieran Thanks Mike! Ambulance services are making significant improvements to resuscitative decision making and decisions at EOL, with the introduction of helpful guidance and increased autonomy. More work to do but some real momentum taking place ..
