Once again with feeling. Attendance numbers do not correlate with performance, singular focus on reducing ED census does not work to substantially improve crowding or performance. Acute system capacity and tackling delayed discharge is biggest “bang for buck”

As we head towards another winter crisis, how do characteristics of an Emergency Department's catchment impact the likelihood of long delays in care? It's complicated. But for us in Scotland, it's clear that urban EDs and their patients will suffer the most. A short 🧵

The data is clear, when patients are in corridors, patients somewhere are dying unnecessarily. Royal College of Emergency Medicine and our members know overcrowding can’t be fixed overnight but it’s time to stop pretending we can provide proper safe or dignified care in corridors. channel4.com/news/there-wil…

Here’s an idea. Emergency care data is fiddled: hospitals lump patients attending minor injuries units in with the sickest patients in major A&Es. “Site specific reporting” would stop this and allow the focus to be on the patients most at risk.

Wonderful to see that so many NHS organisations and their clinicians are committing to supporting Parkinson's patients through the Parkinson's UK Excellence Network pledge. This is brilliant progress alongside RCEM's Time Critical Medications (TCM) Quality Improvement Programme (QIP), which is in

It's clear that social deprivation increases presentations to emergency care, and now more evidence that alleviating poverty reduces emergency attendance and supports planned care. The challenge now is to move beyond trials and implement this as policy jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
