The shortfall of #EmergencyMedicine clinicians- a key finding of our Retain, Recruit, Recover report -was cited in the 2nd reading of the Health + Social Care Bill today. We urge the Govt. to act now to achieve safe staffing in our Emergency Departments. Sir Jeremy Hunt MP Sajid Javid



So the recent NHSE performance data shows 12 hour DTA stays in July at winter levels - remembering that 12 hour from DTA is a tiny % of the patients in EDs staying over 12 hours to get a bed. This leads to exit block and inability to offload ambulances. Royal College of Emergency Medicine




Controversial view👇🏻 Across the U.K. we prob don’t need the army for ambulances or tents outside ED We need: Every ambulance able to offload on arrival Adequate ED staffing Every patient to leave the ED when referred… rather than hours or days later #ExitBlock Royal College of Emergency Medicine 1/2



24 years in Emergency Medicine and I think I am done! Struggling to see a solution, stay positive or provide the quality care our patients deserve. Hard work, digging in and goodwill won't cut it. Chronic underfunding, screwed targets and government stupity have destroyed the job


Always a pleasure to host such committed faculty who give up their time for education thank you all! @PeterboroughEM School of Emergency Medicine 💙
