"I know many of my colleagues are dreading what winter will bring for us and for our patients"

@RCEMpresident Dr Ian Higginson responds to the latest Emergency Department performance data from @NHSEngland for September.

It revealed 133,682 people waited 12 hours or more in that month alone. That's 11,125 more patients who experienced this wait when compared to July.

The College’s Emergency Medicine Specialty and Specialist (EMSAS) Doctor’s forum @EMSAS_RCEM has just launched a practical and comprehensive guide to support the Emergency Medicine SAS workforce.

The ‘EMSAS Handbook’ provides essential information, guidance, and useful links to help them navigate their chosen career field.

We have written to @rcollem to raise concerns about inaccurate and potentially damaging guidance on ‘workforce tiers’ in emergency medicine. 

We look forward to working together to ensure the expertise of SAS doctors is properly valued.

Following 2 deaths in 2 days of Scottish ambulance service staff, it's so important to speak about mental health.
We are exposed to so much and feel like we always need to help others, but it's so important to look after ourselves.
Any SAS staff needing an invite to page below?

Great to talk about something other than crowding today at #EMSAS2024 (well I might have mentioned it). How we think about middle aged emergency clinicians is a key part of our sustainable working agenda. Affects us all one day. @RCollEM @EMSAS_RCEM

#ICYMI: Scottish government urged to heed A&E ‘alarm bells’

Number of patients waiting 12+ hours in August higher than in any January or February from 2012 to 2022, despite it being a month in summer when ED performance tends to improve.
