As the NATO summit gets underway in Washington DC, the Chair of NATO COMEDS, Major General Tim Hodgetts, opens the Defence Medical Services' Non-Compressible Haemorrhage Symposium in London. As far as we've come, we need a revolution in trauma care if we are to survive what's to come. (My words)

To be fair there is a lot of variability in both groups. And one of the pilots sites is still reporting unusually short waits. But several pilot sites who used to be good on the 4hr metric are now awful on average waits...

Thank you, @drbenswift for your talk @EHAAT_ . I still don’t believe your version of the Father Christmas story but your points were well made (!) Serious bit - The clinicopathological correlation is the most important thing we can do to move our PHEM specialty forward.

.@Hermesparcels Very disappointed to pay extra for my daughter’s stuff 2 b delivered today. My wife has been in all the time. I’ve got a message from you saying nobody is home to take delivery. That’s just not true. Very poor service. If only everyone were as good as @dpd_support

Can we have some info @NuffieldHealth #devonshire on opening the squash courts. @englandsr have produced excellent guidelines to follow ! Have you done a risk assessment and assessed it’s too great ? A view of the plan would be good. I mailed the #Dev rackets manager no reply yet – at Plymouth, England
