Damn. Perils of cycling on gritty roads. Will be out of action for bit. Care has been excellent at @CUH_NHS though none of my colleagues wanted to do the FIB block and debated orthogeriatric referral 😳

@jillstaffy We have had several patients wait in ED longer than 8! Days for an inpatient bed. How can you explain to a family why 8x~75 (daily admission number) other admissions I e. 600ish patients have been placed ahead of them during this time? @EmergNursesNI

@andrew_neilly @drdavyg Andy - you are the one and only 'Plaster Master' so don't be worrying about that. There are also loads of new staff who have never seen the awesomeness of Prelude slabs and think TPS refers to tyre pressure sensors! @saraelaine1

@mattdiscombe Sadly Matt the real picture is even worse. The 12 hour data is only from “decision to admit”, not from when the patient arrives. The real number is much higher, and each number is a patient. Sad lack of willingness to show and tell the whole story. @RCollEM @RCEMpresident

BREAKING: Performance against the 4 hour target at main A&Es were the worst on record in November. 54.5% of patients were admitted/ transferred/ discharged within 4 hours in Nov, down from 54.8% in October.

@PourquoiJD The lesser risk of cohorting in a space AFTER seen and treated in ED (Ward) versus accepting and facilitating cohorting patients before seen and treated building in more delays/ crowding /harm. Decongest EDs and offload ambulances to right place first time without delays 🤔

@RCN_NI . Thanks to the nurses in @NorthernTrust emergency department for taking time to speak to me today and explain the pressures they are under. I fully appreciate the work they do and and the RCN will work tirelessly to make their working lives better
