A&E waiting times are a high-profile indicator of how hospitals are performing. Our updated nutshell outlines three key trends:
1️⃣ A&E performance continues to decline
2️⃣ Waits for emergency admissions have increased
3️⃣ Demand for A&E services is rising

A new form ‘only’ takes 1 minute per patient.
650 patients = 650 minutes per day
3,954 hours per year
37.5 hrs per week is 1,575 hours per year.
So we need 2.5 additional staff to fill in a “1 minute” form.
BUT this also works the other way round.

New @marmotihe analysis confirms since 2010 central government spending cuts to local authorities were highest in areas with lower life expectancy and more health inequalities, further harming health in these places @MichaeMarmot @UCL https://t.co/zky5j08mj9

Come on Y&H EM Trainees, fill in the survey, and have your experiences heard!

[Dale Kirkwood (he/him) @KirkwoodDW]

Plea for help :)

The current EMTA survey completion is 483. It's a start but only 17.5% of the 2.6k.

Like a union... strength in numbers

For all the inequalities in training that exist. Completing the GMC and EMTA survey are perhaps the best return on time for impact. 12 mins

Being science based, we will only report what we know, not just what seems plausible. There will be additional deaths to the 250 / week in a number of UEC settings. These aren't quantified, so we didn't include them. a short 🧵

There's been a bit of recent interest in long Emergency Department stays and risk of mortality. NHSE and DHSC have been trying to reduce the problems in Emergency Department with their Recovery Plan and the recently released Planning Guidance. So how's it going? a 🧵
