No one records mortality statistics for patients in EDs in the UK, apart from us!

29/29 Our NHS is on its knees (left). Our 7m+ waiting lists and rising avoidable deaths are not due to striking NHS workers, or (just) covid, but due to political choices.
RT if you want government to make the choice to fix this mess now & properly #payrestoration #fixDDRB

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Self-extrication should be considered as the primary route of egress for trapped patients of all ages.... next up: our Delphi work which defines those that can be helped by self-extrication, with: @NFCC_FireChiefs @ParamedicsUK @_ukro @FPHCEd @ResearchPHOTON &NHRAF
Another piece of the “extrication puzzle”
Published yesterday in @SJTREM (so it’s free to download + digest)
In summary:
- older patients don’t do well
- get them out promptly
- ideally use self extrication
Thanks again @RoadSafetyTruUK for the support
