Curious how this will dovetail with the work done by the National Data Guardian on access to information for follow up and reflection for regulated health and social care staff

Really uplifting to see the team shortlisted.
Whilst every member of the service should feel proud of this nomination, it's also a great opportunity to take a moment to say how fortunate we are to have such an incredible group of nurses as transfer practitioners and leaders ๐
Delighted to share that ACCESS has been shortlisted for Team of the Year at the @NursingTimes Awards 2026! ๐
A huge congratulations to our incredible team, whose dedication and expertise deliver life-saving critical care transfers across London every day. #NursingTimesAwards

After yesterdayโs brilliant performance but disappointing result, todayโs bus parade was the perfect antidote.
Seeing people of every race, colour, religion, age and background come together in celebration was a reminder of what football โ and London โ should be all about. COYG

A huge NHS problem:
"...a significant proportion of activity may be generated not by new need, but by the system failing to meet existing need the first time."
That's failure demand.

What possible benefit comes from a separate (and probably more game-able) metric for those treated in corridors? If they focussed on reducing 12hr waits (as opposed to not letting them get worse, which is current strategy) the would improve the problem.

Congratulations to all the Arsenal fans and in particular one
@M8Arteta put the club on his shoulders, trusted the process, and shaped everything around him. He never doubted that, at some point, despite, and because of, the endless hours of work, the big rewards would come.
Here it is ๐

UK HEMS - a very different profile compared to the "average" US HEMS program.
Also, not mentioned, there are zero single engine helicopters used for HEMS in the UK.
(<4% of US HEMS programs staff with physicians)

For every 1 hr spent boarding in the ED a patient spends an extra 2.15 hours in hospital.
Decreasing ED boarding increases bed availability!

RCEM Conference 2026
Reducing computer screen brightness in ED to 40% did not affect ability to interpret scans or read EPR.
2000 kg CO2 equivalent saved per year, saving about ยฃ2000 a year.
Scalable and would be easy to implement in the NHS.

Wow. Recent @RCollEM survey found Emergency Departments operating at 176% of capacity.
Imagine an aircraft, a shop, a restaurant or any other public facing industry being expected to perform perfectly at this sort of figure!
