29/29 Our NHS is on its knees (left). Our 7m waiting lists and rising avoidable deaths are not due to striking NHS workers, or (just) covid, but due to political choices.
RT if you want government to make the choice to fix this mess now & properly #payrestoration #fixDDRB

Couldn’t agree more with the strong messaging from @RCEM_VP @RCEMpresident about our inability to deliver the care we want to in the current situation!
🗣️ 'We cannot treat people in car parks'.
An emergency medicine spokesperson tells Sky News that pressures on emergency services are so great that effective treatment is not possible.

My take on high sensitive troponin. I’m sure @richardbody @barbrabackus and @louiseacullen will be along to correct me if I’m not 100% on it. 1/12

Self-extrication should be considered as the primary route of egress for trapped patients of all ages.... next up: our Delphi work which defines those that can be helped by self-extrication, with: @NFCC_FireChiefs @ParamedicsUK @_ukro @FPHCEd @ResearchPHOTON &NHRAF

Another piece of the “extrication puzzle”
Published yesterday in @SJTREM (so it’s free to download digest)
In summary:
- older patients don’t do well
- get them out promptly
- ideally use self extrication
Thanks again @RoadSafetyTruUK for the support
