Thank you @wesstreeting for responding so quickly to our concerns about ED waiting times/incentives. We look forward to working together to #ResuscitateEmergencyCare
@RCEMpresident
We’re keeping the focus on the pressures facing our EDs today.
Speaking to @NickTriggle, @RCEMpresident expressed The College’s concerns about the unintended risk related to incentivising ED waiting time targets which may lead to some of the most vulnerable patients waiting the longest.

After working in A&E for just a little over a month, I thought I'd share my experiences as one of the front line doctors facing the current/ongoing crisis happening across our country.
A quarter through my placement, I already feel burned out and morally fatigued.

Only thing getting me through this rotten flu is watching Michael Scott and the gang being the best paper selling crew in all of Scranton

Labour is hiking taxes on billionaires.
Don’t be distracted by the farmers protesting in Westminster. Inheritance tax on farmland means the super rich will pay their fair share.
Here’s who’s most affected:
Re-opening corridor nursing after months of managing without is just heartbreaking. We NEED changes to improve our NHS services for the sake of the public and the staff

What has been seen today on @C4Dispatches is sadly not isolated.Our members are doing their best in a system in crisis. It should galvanise those who form the next Goverment into action. This is not okay. This should not be normalised. Patients & our members deserve better

I would hand my NMC pin back tomorrow, if I could. Just need to fond a job that pays enough and interests me. Cannot provide the standard of care my patients deserve. Never enough equipment, staff or capacity and nobody is listening. #c4dispatches

Yesterday the local paper published a story and a video showing the conditions of the A&E where I work; over 30 in a corridor and patients waiting days for a bed
This is NOT the fault of the staff who work there; from managers to nurses to doctors, we are trying out best in appalling conditions.
The crisis seen is a systematic failure of the NHS which is replicated in A&Es up and down the country and on every single day of the year now.
Its happening ultimately because of political decisions.
We are lucky that we live in a democracy. Soon we will have the chance to decide if we wish to continue with the current policies which have led the NHS to the precipice of destruction or vote for change.
It doesn’t need to be like this. The NHS can be saved but only if the public demand our politicians make the changes needed.

On my first International Nurse’s Day as a Registered Nurse I am at my worst with my MH. 8 months into my career post-qualifying and I’m considering whether I made a mistake.
I know this cannot be just an ED nursing problem, but so far this has been my only experience that I can reflect on.
If anyone has any words of wisdom or tips and tricks for me to regain my love and passion for nursing, I would be very grateful. #IND2024
“all of us are vulnerable to these errors in distracting, multitask environments because our attention cannot be on everything at once”
Thank you for this article, very interesting and intriguing read.
Approx 1 in 400 hospital admissions has a serious medical or surgical error
Many are preventable by good team working, effective communication and optimising performance
Here's a short article we've written about human factors, safety & fallibility:

The diverse clinical skills and knowledge sets needed in between band 5 RN roles is extreme between specialities. As much as I respect and appreciate every and all RNs I do believe there should be some discussion around competency based incentives and a pay scale to reflect this.
We’ve responded to the UK government consultation on a new nursing pay spine.
Nursing needs a fresh start and a new place in health care.
