New emergency care state out for NI today, tough reading… behind every one a person, a loved one… many receiving great care but too many coming to harm, too many people not getting an ambulance when needed, too many unable to leave hospital. Great people giving their all!

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… old paper that holds true. The patients waiting for a specialist bed in ED lead to over crowding, poor ED performance and long ambulance handovers. Diverting minor cases from ED is a failed narrative if not preceded by improved patient flow and capacity

Good news. I’ve found an Emergency Department that isn’t crowded (although it will be busy later). It’s in a large field somewhere in Somerset. And it will be gone in 5 days.

We delighted to announce that we are the first HSC Trust in NI to provide a genetic treatment for Motor Neurone Disease through a new drug Tofersen that has been shown to slow & in some cases halt the progress of MND for those with the SOD1 gene variation westerntrust.hscni.net/altnagelvin-fi…
