We need @RishiSunak & @SteveBarclay to spend time in any A&E to witness the horrors of corridor care
Then they would understand the reasons for 500 excess deaths a week
And then they might try and solve the problem rather than deny there is one
Pls retweet to encourage them

We need to act now to protect the most vulnerable, and precious part of the healthcare system, the Emergency Medical System.
It’s time for change and to reset emergency care.

DISGRACEFUL: Example doctor👇 This is what @RishiSunak wants to do to your pension on Wednesday by removing indexation to the LTA (which may never return).
(Yet another) stealth theft of your pension worth between £187k-£303k.
Feeling underavlued? Pls RT if you agree scandalous

As hospitals start work on getting services reopened we need speedy consideration as to how we keep patients and staff safe in EDs. Crowding and corridor care incompatible with IPC considerations (as well as there being all the other harms we pointed out pre Covid!!) @RCollEM

Emergency departments now able to work efficiently. Redirect to primary care happens. Patient needs specialist opinion - it happens. Patient needs a bed - rapidly admitted. Why did the NHS allow so many to suffer in ambulance queues last winter when this was all possible?
