I might have lived through a different pandemic than Martin here, but I think mobile morgue trucks, mass graves, overwhelmed hospitals with makeshift ICUs, and having families say their goodbyes over iPads were far more disturbing.

Infuriating, called #111 to get an appt at a WIC for my frail 93 year old granddad for an x-ray (as per Litherland WIC website). Instead they’ve sent him to Aintree A&E where he will likely wait 6+ hours. No wonder A&Es are drowning when the service set out to help is failing it
I will never understand the sense of urgency that a 1 day hx of runny nose can cause that would make someone decide to show up in the ED at 4am…
Like why?
Last week there were an average of 3,746 people a day in hospital with flu, compared with 2,088 the week before — up almost 80% in seven days.
It’s more important than ever to get protected. Visit nhs.uk/wintervaccinat… to get your free flu vaccine if you’re eligible.
Does anyone else in EM feel like they live in 2 completely separate but parallel universes? The war zone ‘in work’ and then the one ‘outside work’ where no one seems to have a clue what ED is going through. Its like retreating from a battlefield that no-one knows exists
"..a way the public can help us look after them is to remember when they come to the ED they will face queues & long uncomfortable waits; but that's not the fault of the nurses & doctors looking after you. We need their kindness to help us look after them” news.sky.com/story/medics-a…
“The dissatisfaction the public feel with A&E is understandable, EM staff are also wholly dissatisfied & tired of being unable to deliver the high-quality effective care they are trained to provide because of the lack of beds & staff in EDs, & the indifference shown by the Gov."
It is time for a national discussion about what it is reasonable to expect for emergency medical care from #NHS. We can no longer just see everybody and anyone who turns up at A&Es’ doors. It is just not possible. We have to be there for the acutely unwell and injured.
A&E departments are staffed, skilled, equipped and big enough to (just about) cope with genuine Emergency demand.
We cannot handle the volume of non-emergency work that is currently coming in on top of it.
System is broken. Urgent solutions needed.
We’ll soon be regulating anaesthesia associates & physician associates. Ahead of this, we’re recruiting for education associates to carry out quality assurance activities with us. If you're a health education or assessment specialist, pls apply by 1 June orlo.uk/bV4hY
