"Pressures in emergency services are felt more in rural and coastal areas." @YSTeachingNHS, @UniOfYork and @unibirmingham will be using £1.2 million of national funding to investigate how urgent and emergency care could be improved in more rural areas, like Scarborough.

“Care delivered in corridors and other non-clinical spaces is unsafe, undignified and unacceptable. It violates the privacy of patients and leaves staff without access to essential, life-saving equipment. There are no circumstances under which it constitutes good, safe care. “What once used to be an exceptional circumstance, is now happening regularly in our hospitals. Health leaders and the secretary of state must waste no time in eradicating this shocking practice in the interests of patients and staff.” @theRCN responds to our call to end the normalisation of unacceptable and dangerous 'Corridor Care' 👇 shorturl.at/Rz395

We are on @MetroUK front page and in other media channels today because we have made it clear that the NHS temporary escalation spaces (TES) guide is "normalisation of what is an unacceptable and dangerous situation" @RCEMpresident. 👇 Links below. Our healthcare workers and their patients deserve better. Share the news stories to show that you think so, too! 🔗 RCEM Position Statement: tinyurl.com/rcemTES 🔗 RCEM News: tinyurl.com/rcemNews1612 🔗 TES guide: england.nhs.uk/long-read/prin… 🔗 Metro news story: metro.co.uk/2024/12/16/med…

Long overdue reform of adult #socialcare could play a significant role in cutting these dreadful hospital waiting list figures by providing care where people need it and freeing up hospital beds. We need change now. loom.ly/N37Rk8k

@AbbieSBrooks Thanks for highlighting this in these terms - much better than sending the 2016 contract letter which is just antagonistic and pitches GPs and the hospital against each other. This will be the focus of the NY&Y interface work-delivering for our patients.

Letters can take days to be electronically submitted from the hospital.Sometimes a few days to get in front of the eyes of someone who can action the prescription in general practice. I know it’s more convenient, but it’s really dangerous with potential for delay & harm. #teamGP

Can we please stop with the “your GP will prescribe you antibiotics” letters. Recently getting lots … eg your CXR done during admission shows infection, your MSU sent from clinic shows infection… Writing “the patient prefers to collect these from the GP” doesn’t make it safe.
