@parthaskar @ShivaniM_KC @DrSelvarajah @eveosh @Rezaidi @iceman_ex @AntonEmmanuel2 @trishgreenhalgh @Trisha_the_doc @RslewisSally @HelenRSalisbury You must forget how us PRHO's quaked to refer to Endo

We have-again- the debate about “pronouncing names” Simple 2 steps for me 1. I will correct you once 2. If you still don’t put in the effort, I will misspell/ mispronounce your name too Added note: If you work in #Diabetes care, & can say ‘Dapagliflozin?’ Yeah, you can do it

@jillstaffy Sadly too true. How our society suffers because of lack of strategic long term investment and management plans. If only we could have a stable government. Perhaps we should be allowed to decide if the GFA should evolve

@Jo_McGinn @DrIpFeed4 It makes me wonder if the csws bought these electrical.goods themselves. Perhaps after asking people to donate to the cause

Sorry, I'm all for clinical support needing a room but why has the JD hot desk room been taken over when there are offices elsewhere in this hospital that are not used overnight? Pre-op? Admin?

@RNChristinaH @swasFT @ECISTNetwork @RCollEM Ah OK, I thought it was the 2 it systems talking to each other. Thank you

@chateaudr @swasFT @ECISTNetwork @RCollEM Taking nhs number from SWAST and booking them straight onto our system which is symphony. The details and booking onto the wider hospital system is then done after. This allows us to triage quicker and release ambulances quicker

We’ve been working with @swasFT to reduce ambulance offload times. We recognised there were a 3-6 min delay booking onto our electronic system so we now fast reg. Today we also implemented a traffic light system to inform if we are holding or to come straight in to offload

@Kieranpmccormic @Dkell999 @moneillsf @DUPleader @healthdpt @patcullen9 @RCN_NI @rita_rdevlin29 @J_Donaldson_MP @DannyDonnelly1 @jaynecbrady @COPNI Please complain formally about this. No ED wants to be forced to deliver substandard care to anyone. Let alone frail elderly. RQIA, seem blind to the plight of ED in NI

@Dkell999 @moneillsf @DUPleader @healthdpt @patcullen9 @RCN_NI @rita_rdevlin29 @J_Donaldson_MP @DannyDonnelly1 @jaynecbrady @COPNI Thank you Denise! I have to say, without any exaggeration, the sheer despair visible on staff was palpable, not to mention the similar distress of patients and their relatives.

Currently with my 92 year old grandmother in ED in a Northern Ireland Hospital. The staff are absolutely run off their feet’s, ambulances are queued from the ambulance bays right out to the main road, patients lined head to toe in corridors. Quotes I’ve heard from staff “this is the state of our NHS”, “worst I’ve seen it in a long time”, “it’s a war zone in there”, “god help anyone who gets sick”. My thoughts with patients and families visibly distressed by these conditions and I absolutely applaud colleagues for the clearly challenging conditions they are working in this evening! #savetheNHS #NOtocorridorcare

@smcg600 Nose bleed seats!

Holiday starting ! Offspring trying to increase my sophistication! You can take the man out of Fermanagh etc

@milliken_don @neurosurgerySpR @parthaskar Not so. They will not have a contract that dictates cover for colleague absence. Will be supervised by medics but working under a different college Fab colleagues to be sure but will have a few negatives too.

@neurosurgerySpR @parthaskar They're a more flexible workforce though. Faster/cheaper to train. Perhaps less able to advocate for patients and standards.

Shortening training Cheaper workforce If that is the #WorkforcePlan from the #NHS as being touted… And you are someone in a position of power who is signing this off? Never forget where the responsibility for the consequences will sit Will be the politicians. And you.

@deeleyc6 @parthaskar Most district hospitals need the Consultants to be generalists and shortening training will not deliver what is needed in the long term.

@deeleyc6 @parthaskar Experience is key in medicine. Trainees already have had more limited patient exposure than most Consultants in their 40's will have had. Constant referral from one specialty to another for advice is detrimental to care when they're made because of lack of general experience.

@millarwilson @mcerlane_angela @cathymcc2002 Omg, they gave them to McCoy 🙈. All the best Angela and Stephanie. Enjoy your retirements. 🎈🍾

Official handover of the MEM night out funds @mcerlane_angela @cathymcc2002

@BarryMcAree I've heard ambulance offload exceeded 12 hours in one ED this week. Less beds won't help.

@BarryMcAree Not just too many hospitals, lack of access to achieve RPRPFT. lack of commitment to ambulatory care. Continued acceptance of appalling waits in community and Emergency departments. Hard to comprehend how closing hospitals will help without true commitment to change

Nail on head. Make no mistake, politicians who haven’t done right thing to deliver difficult but essential change cost lives of their own voters in quality & time, ironically to get their votes. Lives for votes. Power at any cost. Populism aka blood money. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/column…

@millarwilson @steph_green1289 @NHSCTrust Ach Stephanie so sorry to miss your last day. Very fitting that it's on Florence Nightingale's birthday. Hope to see you on the course

So today was the day we said goodbye to Stephanie @steph_green1289 as she retires after 38 years all but 6 months in the same Trust @NHSCTrust some tears but always laughter we will miss you so much and forever grateful for how you have helped build a great team#MEM ⭐️

@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz @JimAllister Might have been on a treasure hunt.

The sectarianism behind the gaa....

@GPDrYvetteDoc I understand your frustration, but I'm just wondering if you have the phone system that cuts patients off if lots of people phoning in. Might well be just bad communication from your patients. However I have witnessed 110 phone calls to some practices without getting through

Another day, another DNA. This time for my HCA. A 30 minute appointment booked less than a week ago

@beakally41 @GPDrYvetteDoc Well the tweet is a personal experience, so I am not sure we can say it is misleading. I agree we don't know why there was a DNA but I suppose the point is if someone does not answer the phone 30 secs are lost that's 10 mins lost. Or 30 if it was a smear

@GPDrYvetteDoc Our NHS dentist has an auto system sending email and txt reminders on the back of the appt booked.... the tech is there in the NHS. Yes there are no shows, I find this tweet misleading since we currently have a 2 wk wait to see our GP!

@WesternHSCTrust Will NT patients be eligible now?

Staff, relatives and patients gathered recently to celebrate the newly named ‘North West Centre for Neurological Rehabilitation’, formerly Spruce House. Watch the full video and read more | westerntrust.hscni.net/north-west-cen…

@scaredofbugz @_KenMimsD Right

@MrAndrewCotter @gbc123 18 is torture

@gbc123 18 is plenty.

Hotel room on entry. Perhaps they mixed up my booking with that of an iguana. On an iguana business trip. A very demanding iguana where every detail has to be just right.
