We really need to stop making it so hard for NHS staff to go to work A huge number of NHS workers have to cope with inadequate public transport, insufficient and unsafe parking for cars and bikes, and exorbitant costs Something needs to be done urgently - please RT if you agree

Fine as long as every new ambulance that comes we get to send a patient to AMU. In turn AMU can send one to a specialty ward and in turn again they have to discharge one.

Delays in offload are rarely caused by the ED these days… if we could offload ambulances we would, and pressure from management or from ambulance services fails to acknowledge most ED’s are simply full and there is no space.

If this is Labour's plan for managing the looming winter crisis, then I am horrified. This isn't fixing the problem, it's passing the buck, placing intolerable pressures on my colleagues in A&E & risking the lives of the patients stranded in corridors. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/a…

The relative risk of ambulance “drop and go” policies vs a more balanced harm reduction approach is unknown. The solution is ⬆️ hospital capacity (more beds, shortened length of stay), not increasing tension within stressed systems. An Emergency Department is not a tardis. 2/3

Israeli troops have directly targeted medical staff in Gaza while they are at work. Here a colleague describes how the ambulance he was in came under attack. He was shot three times and has been left with a devastating leg injury which cannot be properly treated in Gaza.

Extraordinary! Lord Bethell (@JimBethell) who told the #CovidInquiry that he’d lost his WhatsApp messages because his phone was lost, then broken, then given away, then erased, has managed to dig up a message from @MichelleMone & posted it to defend @RishiSunak Rats in a sack!
Replying to @StefSimanowitz
“Isn’t it rather odd, in the middle of an Inquiry, to delete really important messages?” Sunak & Johnson aren’t the only ones who failed to hand over WhatsApp messages Lord Bethell, ex-Health Minister, says his phone was 1. lost, 2. broken, & 3. given away & he deleted messages

Absolutely dreading winter. We are already shuffling patients and it’s only September 😫
🏥Overcrowding is dangerous and puts our clinicians and their patients in a difficult position. 🧵 Share your experience by DM or email [email protected]. #ResuscitateEmergencyCare
