I'm moving over to the bright side. bsky.app/profile/doctor… Anyone care to join me?
GMC: We’re in listening mode Doctors: Ah, ok good, that’s reassuring to hear. So we have deep and widespread concerns for patient safety arising from the MAPs project, your regulation of them, their lack of defined safe scope of practice and the blurring of lines. GMC:
The GMC’s refusal to recognise doctors’ concerns about its plans is deeply disappointing and will mean lines between doctors & those without a medical degree continue to be blurred. We will therefore move forward with our application for a judicial review bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
Are you an NHS doctor working in emergency medicine? I would be really grateful if you can spare 15 minutes and please take part in my research as part of my Clinical Psychology Doctorate with the University of Bath: uniofbath.questionpro.eu/emergencymedic… @DrJoDaniels
I don’t want any pennies off my national insurance. I want to pay for a country that has all the good stuff
Speaking of my dissertation, if you work in emergency medicine in the UK in any capacity, please fill in my survey on asylum seekers and refugees in ED york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6V…
All RCEM Members have been sent a survey seeking their views on Emergency Medicine Physician Associates A link's been sent to Members’ registered email addresses The survey closes at 5pm, Fri 08/03/24 Please complete it – your views are important rb.gy/ull7ev
Ambulances can’t get to dying people because they’re stuck outside of hospitals full of patients we could discharge if we just had more carers in the community, so I’m delighted that the government has taken decisive action to ban these carers from living with their families.
Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants. This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration 👇
Hate that critical incidents need to be declared, but respect organisations that recognise the shit they are in & take proper steps to address issues threatening patient safety. We had more patients waiting for longer in York this week @YSTeachingNHS yet no incident declared.
🚨 NEW: @NGHnhstrust has declared a critical incident. It is at 100% capacity and some patients have waited 35 hours for a bed:
Those specialties have the option of pushing back to the ED. We have nowhere to push back to, other than the ambulance ramp, or the waiting room. For too long, Trusts have become far too comfortable with the disproportionate concentration of risk in the ED #crowdingkills
The ABC of Emergency Medicine. A is for Aorta You should always think aorta. Aortic dissection can present atypically. It can present painlessly. It can present 6 months after you've seen the patient. Probably safer just to scan everyone.
Now there's a thought!!
Re: cohorting If trusts can make space for pre-ED cohorting to enable ambulance handover, they can make space for post-ED cohorting. Often the reason this doesn't happen is it's easier to ask EM to carry the can than specialties. This approach ignores the root causes of crowding.
📺This video is to raise public awareness of the issues our members and patients face in A&Es every day. It explains what’s wrong with the Emergency Care system and the solutions outlined in our General Election Manifesto. Please share and help to #ResuscitateEmergencyCare
Doctors have ‘saved’ the Government, Taxpayer & NHS, approx £10bn* since 2008 Doctors are asking for pay restoration, not a reimbursement of lost income The request amounts to £35 per head of population per year, about £2bn *If Doctors pay had increased in line with inflation
The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay They strike tomorrow This letter is incredible I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting
"They're not asylum shoppers they're asylum seekers... That's not true." @krishgm challenges immigration minister Robert Jenrick after he claims "asylum shoppers" should seek sanctuary in the first safe country they reach under the "Refugee Convention".
ED colleagues - have you stopped universal mask wearing for patients and staff? If you have, do you wear them with certain patients eg high risk of severe Covid, those with resp symptoms etc? Thanks 😊
You can’t argue with these numbers from the @FT can you @SteveBarclay ? ‘Nurses and doctors have seen a much steeper decline in real terms pay than the average British worker’ Just look at this, shameful:
