The first report of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Emergency Care has revealed the scale of corridor care in England, and the harrowing impact it has on patients.

The report, built on research compiled by RCEM through data, surveys and patient testimony, is here: rcem.ac.uk/press-rel...

Elissa Slotkin speech outlines dark future on how Donald Trump intends 'to hold onto power'
YouTube video by Detroit Free Press Elissa Slotkin speech outlines dark future on how Donald Trump intends 'to hold onto power'

Everyone should watch this speech of Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin.
She outlines as clearly as anyone Iโ€™ve heard Trumpโ€™s strategy of dismantling American democracy to hold on to power.

If you donโ€™t want to watch the full 16 min version check out the short posted below.

Was sent this article by @iwashyna.bsky.social by a trainee colleague after we diagnosed acute dying

Iโ€™d read it before, but the quote in the concluding paragraph still stuns

โ€œA dying person needs to die like an exhausted person needs to sleepโ€

We absolutely need to fix the elective wait black hole and a new focus is welcomeโ€ฆ but we shouldnโ€™t allow it to take everyoneโ€™s eye off the fact that EDs across the U.K. are on FIRE!

It simply cannot be put in the too difficult to sort box and just ignore the exit block / corridor care crisis ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

We have made it clear that the NHS temporary escalation spaces (TES) guide is "normalisation of what is an unacceptable and dangerous situation".

Do you work in an Emergency Department in the UK?

Can you help us understand the Public Health interventions in your department?

This will take no more than 5-10 minutes.

Thank you
