Good to hear Minister Picton at #ACEM24 acknowledging the "squeeze" on EDs and the importance of addressing Access Block. And managing to pitch coming to work in SA to over 900 delegates

Remembering Dr Ed Brentnall. Ed was a pioneer of #EmergencyMedicine in Australia, an innovator in many things today's Emergency Physicians take for granted. Ed inspired so many of today's medical leaders. Passionate to the end, he kept me on my toes. Rest in Peace, old friend.

Today's @gmcuk #StateOfMed report on workplace experiences of UK #doctors detailing the extent of burnout 'is sobering reading, though sadly not surprising' says @RCEMpresident
👉 rcem.ac.uk/rcem-responds-to-…
Doctors are at breaking point.
The GMC’s #StateOfMed annual report into the workplace experiences of UK doctors today reveals that a third of doctors are struggling to cope.
Low job satisfaction and high burnout levels is driving poor retention, with one in six doctors taking active steps to leave the profession.
The statistics from 2023 also showed that doctors in training have a higher chance of burnout and GPs continue to be the least satisfied doctors, with 48% admitting they were struggling.
Without healthcare staff getting the mental health support they need, patient care will inevitably suffer. There is no health care without self care.

Interesting, but #Unhelpful commentary.. someone with siloed thinking blaming others for having siloed thinking...patients in ED waiting rooms are often sicker than those on ambulances and can deteriorate rapidly....adelaidenow.com.au/news/sout…

Aaarggghhhh!!!!! The inability to provide care in the ED is a result of poor flow out of the ED due to inadequate hospital and health and social care capacity. It’s not due to the ‘wrong’ patients or staff not caring. We must move away from this narrative!! #c4dispatches

One of the hardest things about Emerg is how many things are some variation of “this algorithm for rule in/out RareThing sucks. You have to consider RareThing for every <common presentation> & rule it out because you can never miss it. Only CT rules it out. But don’t over-CT.”

Another deadly triage ECG missed, and the waiting patient leaves before being seen. What is this nearly pathognomonic ECG?

abc.net.au/news/2024-05-31/d…… this has been going on for 20 years. A MAJOR rethink of healthcare is needed. More of the same won’t work. Move to community care, not hospital-based care needs to happen
