📝 What should be documented for an anterior shoulder dislocation? A Delphi study This multicentre Delphi study asked: What should clinicians document after managing a shoulder dislocation in the ED? 📋 Of 85 proposed items, only 22 reached consensus. 🔍 93% showed wide variation—highlighting inconsistency in practice. Agreed essentials included: 🔹 Whether it's a first or recurrent dislocation 🔹 Side affected 🔹 Mechanism of injury 🔹 Sensory/motor changes 🔹 Neurovascular status after reduction 🔹 Sensation & motor function (axillary, radial, median, ulnar nerves) 🔹 Range of motion 🔹 Arm function post-reduction 🔹 Imaging type and side 🔹 Direction of dislocation 🔹 Post-reduction fracture assessment 🔹 Pain/sedation given and how 🔹 Reduction technique used 🔹 Whether technique was successful 🔹 Documentation of complications 🔹 Child safeguarding screen (if relevant) 📌 This sets the stage for standardising ED notes, improving communication, and enabling higher-quality research. 🔗 doi.org/10.1136/emerme… #EmergencyMedicine #ShoulderDislocation #ClinicalDocumentation #HealthData #FOAMed #May2025 @RCollEM

@SisterScrappy Rcem have lots of guidance

Oh wise people who live in my phone… Can anyone point me in the direction of some recent good evidence for senior decision makers on the front door in ED? There’s lots of stuff saying do it but most papers I’ve read admit that evidence is scarce… Many thanks in advance!

@KensingtonRoyal Wishing you a continued speedy recovery

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved. Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes. I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can. Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright. 🎬 by Will Warr
