Graphic by the Royal College of Nursing stating, 'Newly registered nurses (NRNs) should not be struggling to find entry level nursing roles in the NHS.' Signed by Head of Students and RCN King's Nursing Cadets.

Graduating as a registered nurse should be a time for celebration, not a struggle to find a first role in the profession.

We’re calling for accountable workforce planning and entry‑level job guarantees.

When things get exciting: Thoughts on the recent EMCRIT episode on serotonin syndromes. In this emergency medicine toxicology blog, Gregory Yates reflects on a recent EMCRIT podcast episode discussing serotonin syndrome, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), and other hyperthermic drug reactions. The post highlights the diagnostic importance of neuromuscular findings such as clonus, tremor, and hyperreflexia, as outlined in the Hunter criteria. It also critiques the limitations of relying solely on drug history and explores the inter-rater variability in neurological examinations for movement disorders. With real-world cases from Virchester, the piece underlines the risks of misdiagnosis — particularly the danger of using antipsychotics in the wrong toxidrome. The takeaway: thorough neurological assessment is crucial, and clinicians should be cautious when interpreting overlapping syndromes.

Emergency toxicology insights on differentiating serotonin syndrome from NMS and stimulant toxicity. A commentary on the latest EMCRIT podcast, including diagnostic challenges and clinical examination reliability.
