No it won’t, because like Farage, he won’t be challenged on it

Do you mean that should apply that to wider advanced practice too?

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

The latest update we had from tissue viability (sometime last year) was clean and dress, no more steristrips, with community follow up.
It was a surprise

I don't want a bigger Emergency Department.

I want a functioning social care system and a primary care service that can meet demand.

If we don't get that, the blockage in ED is going to get worse and more people are going to come to harm and die.

#ICYMI New guidance fails to address how β€˜national shame’ of corridor care and excessive A&E waits will be tackled.

RCEM responds to the government’s β€˜mandate for the NHS’ and NHSE planning guidance.

He does make a point, it’s just that the point is that he doesn’t help, support or engage with his colleagues, which would address everything that he has said.

I agree, the concern is that this will be the first of many similar stories

Is that more or less than previously (I honestly have no idea)?
But nationally there have been drops between 25-40%, reducing numbers on those courses could be seen as making β€œsense” (I don’t agree)

Isn’t this just a reflection of the drop in applications to nursing courses?

β€˜A&Es will treat equivalent of half the population each year without reform’ Sir Stephen Powis has urged people to engage with the national conversation about the future of the health service.

Sometimes senior NHSE leaders say things that accidentally reveal the biggest reasons why they can't fix major NHS problems. This speech from Steve Powis is an example:

β€œHospitals” and β€œplan”should be applied very loosely to those 2019 announcements
