People in deprived areas are:
- less likely to receive bystander CPR,
- less likely to access a defib,
- and less likely to survive cardiac arrest.
This isn’t chance, it’s inequality.
We’re committed to changing this, because where you live or what your background is should not determine your survival.

Key output from my PhD fellowship has been published in Resuscitation
TLDR:
🚨 Prehospital critical care teams were less likely to attend cardiac arrest patients in more deprived neighbourhoods.
🚨 No association with neighbourhood ethnicity

Great to see this in print and while this isn’t the end of the story it does show the impact that social support in the ED can make.

Finally in print at the European Journal of Emergency Medicine. Social support from the ED, and changes in healthcare use.

The 4th meeting of @EMAtTheDeepEnd starts with a view from the @SimonCommScot, poorer health outcomes for refugee and migrants, poorer access to care, and a real need to support engagement from EDs to community services.

With @TheDrMagazine, we've spoken about the impact of the social determinants of health in emergency care, and a path to positive change.
Not about fixing all the flaws of society, but recognising this is core to Emergency Medicine, and advocating for change.
