2 years on, have we seen changes? It is getting worse, now corridor care is normal routine. Do we have a choice and although demoralising I am still happy to provide care wherever patients are?

I would definitely stop at 60, it is hard to manage PTWR at 8am then followed by influx patients of so called continuous flow, I have almost lost my sanity in daily basis.

Long days in AMU/ED on acute medical take hit me harder at 60 then they did at the start of my consultant career in my early 30s. Recovery time.... That said, if i did not do acute medical take or look after big wards i'd wonder what my purpose in life was So not stopping
English
Agreed with that. We value our F1s as we are only speciality (acute medicine) who supervise and trained 6 F1s who are our core member of staff in our 3 units, 2 AMUs and 1 short stay. The feedback we received from F1s has been constantly positive.
Anisopoikilocyte@Anisocyte
This. We do need to stop devaluing our F1s - they may be the first rung on the ladder of medically qualified professionals, but they’re still substantially more medically qualified than all non-doctors who want to practise Medicine. F1s are more senior than MAPs and ACPs.

A year on but nothing has changed but we see them, provide care to them (might not be ideal) irrespective of where they are in our units.

Whenever I used the trem “corridor care”, people look at me as if I came from different planet. Here we go! SAM recognises it and I agreed it is degrading but at least patients are cared for in available space with available resources, not ideal but what is the alternative?

Excellent, yes of course, they will able to attend next call but whether the patient they pick up will have an efffective care is doubtful in ED/AMU full of corridor patients when they arrive. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

The corridor practice is becoming “increasingly the norm” across the country in the last few years, “That is a tragedy.” brightonandhovenews.org/2024/10/14/wom…

Corridor care/Stop the clock so called assessment area in SDEC/AAUs as a result, always at front.
Alison Moore @alijanemoore also on Bluesky@AliJaneMoore
Has everyone forgotten that NHSE basically told hospitals to get patients out of ambulances and into A&E? Without improved flow, corridor care is the result.

Excellent Sum up, cannot agree more being a front door acute physician/Geriatrician, we need more beds and/or social care.
SDEC is not the answer to ED crowding or corridor care. bmj.com/content/385/bm…

@DrNeenaJha @Trisha_the_doc @JimBethell secondary care especially ED/AMUs and waiting time for intervention are already broken.

.@JimBethell claimed that PAs can replace GPs as “complex patients all get referred”
In a clinic of 30 patients today, I’d class 26 as complex
1 needed urgent admission
ALL other 25 complex patients I managed fully in 1° care without referral
You replace us, you break 2° care

well we can reinvent the wheel and should we develope “stop the clock space” adjacent to every ED?

NHS E are making A&E performance a competition with million pound cash prizes for the top ranked trusts. This does not seem like a good incentive system. Note that letter issued today (12 March) for performance in March. england.nhs.uk/long-read/urge…
