If insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results … Overcrowding in EDs kills patients and harms staff. The core problem is the “back door” of our departments. Continued focus on the “front door” through redirection strategies won’t work. @RCollEM

A plan which outlines NHS England’s priorities for the next 3 years ‘offers no meaningful roadmap’ to reduce dangerous long waits in Emergency Departments. Our response to NHS England’s Medium Term Planning Framework 2026/27-2028/29: rcem.ac.uk/press-release/…

RCEM president: ‘All the admission avoidance in the world won’t help an elderly patient waiting on a trolley in a corridor for hours (days)’ Never a truer word. Root cause of crowding is lack of Health & social care capacity & flow + need to evolve to realistic medical practice
Royal College of Emergency Medicine@RCollEM

New missives from the Department of Health and NHS England provide little ‘guidance’ as to how the most dangerous and shameful issues facing Emergency Departments – corridor care and excessive pre-admission waits – are going to be tackled, says RCEM Read @RCEMpresident's response to the government's '2025 Mandate' and NHSE planning guidance, in full here 👇 rcem.ac.uk/new-guidance-f…

#ICYMI: Winter looms with many EDs already experiencing unsustainable pressure. We urge NHSE to focus on reducing the longest, most dangerous A&E waits. There were 2,214,217 attendances in EDs in England. The highest September attendance recorded. Read: tinyurl.com/rcemNews1110

If you found Channel 4 Dispatches distressing, as I know everyone who sees it will, consider that long waits and corridor care are happening in almost every ED, every day. rcem.ac.uk/channel-four-d… Despite manifestos light on the issue, the next govts need to act. @RCollEM
