@acutemedicine @nickscr1 We need members help to get back to the same level of engagement in other places! Let us know what works for you!

[Vicky Komrower/Price. now [email protected] @VickyKomrower]

@acutemedicine @nickscr1 In terms of where now. I also agree. There is not the same engagement anywhere that we did have on Twitter. However we are seeing a steady increase in LinkedIn and instagram so that is where I’d point people to for now. However we will post across all the sites listed

[Vicky Komrower/Price. now [email protected] @VickyKomrower]

@acutemedicine @nickscr1 Hi @nickscr1 and @SueManby. I totally agree. In its day “Twitter” was an invaluable source of information and very helpful to all the members. Sadly we no longer have the engagement as so many people have left and there were many reasons to leave discussed in council

Excellent thread. More evidence of harm of long ED stays. I’m really concerned that efforts to reduce corridor care will actually make this worse if not implemented properly. We need to keep reviewing 12 hour waits and a cupboard in ED is not “off the clock”!

@mattcox7003 Good luck! You will be a huge asset to any trust and a brilliant advocate for acute medicine. 😊

@nickscr1 @mancunianmedic @acutemedicine 🙏. Please do all encourage units to complete. So very helpful. And yes @mancunianmedic It is truly awful. For patients and staff. Thanks to all those that keep on “keeping on”.

“It’s basically impossible to provide decent care in a corridor… There's no privacy. We're unable to examine patients properly. We're unable to treat them properly.”

@RCEMPresident talked to @GMB about the now 'normalised' but unnacceptable practice of corridor care.

[Vicky Komrower/Price. now [email protected] @VickyKomrower]

@LouisaNicoll Absolutely!

[Vicky Komrower/Price. now [email protected] @VickyKomrower]

Excellent points from Ian here. It is not inevitable and we need to push very hard to stop this undignified and dangerous situation.

[Ian Higginson @RCEMpresident]

We’ve been pushing against the normalisation of corridor care today across several media outlets. It isn’t inevitable, but it needs political will and good leadership to fix. Maybe in 2026 …?

Twenty failing trusts need new ‘intervention’ approach, says Mackey https://t.co/CcBOEvhymU

@TJCoats Oh please! How good would that be!!

[Vicky Komrower/Price. now [email protected] @VickyKomrower]

@McNalDan @kurtstat @SueManby @nickscr1 @jfdwolff @BDChadwick Agree but has SDEC played a role in this too? I feel like SDEC enables us to mak those discharges earlier so the AMU ward round is now a round of much more complexity. ( Whixh is made so much harder if they are all > 72 hours!)

The Society for Acute Medicine and the Royal College of Occupational Therapists came together to explore the unique role of the Acute OT.

An exciting project to highlight the essential role that OT's play in our Acute Hospitals; how we can best utilise & support this workforce

Absolutely echo this. This week has been particularly bleak. It is truly horrific to see patients who have been sat in a waiting room whilst unwell, getting no sleep for in excess of 48 hours. This is being reported throughout the four nations.

[Tom Roberts @DrTomRoberts]

@DrRosena @APPGEmgcyCare Thank you for all your work on corridor care. Our @ternfellow corridor study from 165 EDs paints a bleak picture.

-1 in 5 patients in corridors
- 25% of EDs with no resus cubicles
- patients waiting for admission stuck in ED > than those in corridors

If you think managing patients with delirium is stressful, think about how it feels for the patient experiencing it. #delirium

I was taught that delirium survivors may develop PTSD from the experience.
