Ok #meded #MedTwitter It's time to leave. I loved what #Twitter gave me when I joined up. A nice community of medics, sharing stories, sharing education. I'm not getting that now, so ... So long. I'm off to try @Peerr_io and work on @LinkedIn

A sad day for English football fans’ partners. The incidence of domestic violence goes up after England loses. If you are affected by this please contact your local service. If you work in healthcare remember that people may seek help through you because of this.

Dispatches on C4 24/06 is going to be a difficult watch. Working in EM feels like a war and it brutalises many staff. Please remember these are caring professionals whose work environment prevents them doing the job they were trained to do, but they still come back day after day.

Thanks #C4NHSdebate Sadly no real solutions beyond the inevitable request for more money💰and the joyful fingers crossed 🤞 “we need to be optimistic for the future” Reminds me of bed management meetings before a bank holiday weekend

@foxinsoxuk Absolutely. I’m tired of political rhetoric about the NHS. All mention a mix of the following phrases: Millions of pounds New More GPs Doctors Hospitals Nurses Shorter waiting lists Investment Better And then blame the previous administration. #NoRealSolutions

As I watch this, and it’s a difficult watch for anyone who cares deeply about the NHS, I have to say (again) I’m very impressed by Dr Adrian Boyle @RCEMpresident We need more senior leaders calling out terrible standards in the NHS, speaking truth to power. All College Presidents (and AoMRC) should #BeMoreAdrian Thank you Adrian for all that you do
Channel 4 Dispatches@C4Dispatches

Over two months, a Dispatches reporter has filmed secretly while working in a major NHS A&E department. The undercover footage exposes the suffering and dangers patients face on a daily basis. WATCH 'Undercover A&E: NHS in Crisis' tonight on @Channel4 at 9pm.

Good to acknowledge that A&E is the most visible aspect of the NHS but the problems are system wide

Quite nice to have a debate on the #NHS without politicians! The NHS is tired of being a political football and since 1948 no political party has covered themselves in glory about how the NHS is managed. Time for a cross-party style of leadership? #C4NHSdebate

@RCollEM @C4Dispatches @RCEMpresident HOWEVER, the solutions to the inhumane situations that patients experience in emergency departments lie largely outside of emergency medicine. Risk needs to be shared across the entire hospital whilst system solutions are prioritised by NHS Leaders & Politicians #notjustmoremoney

This isn't winter, this isn't one A&E, this isn't one system. It's everywhere, and it is entirely avoidable by prioritising safe & dignified emergency care. Stop blaming patients and driving "efficiency" and "redirection" - whole system approach is not just the front door...
Royal College of Emergency Medicine@RCollEM

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
