Our Emergency Department is extremely busy. Please attend only if your injury/illness is a genuine emergency. Otherwise, please visit 111.nhs.uk where trained advisers can help identify the fastest and most appropriate place for you to seek care. #HelpUsHelpYou

We have 230 patients in a very overcrowded ED. We also have some patients waiting an hour to be taken from an ambulance into ED. This delays those ambulances getting out to 58 patients in the community. Please do not come unless it is an emergency . #HelpUsHelpYou

Please think carefully about the services you use as the local health and care system faces significant pressures due to increased demand as well as planned strike activity next week.

First they’ll charge you for GP and A&E visits.
Then for therapies and outpatient appointments.
Then before you know it you’ll face eye-watering bills like they do in America.
Can any of us afford to pay $42,347.46 to deliver a baby?

Dear British Press,
There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.
So please report on the things which are actually important
Thanks

Dear @SteveBarclay,
I get paid £15.50/hr working in A&E on a 48hr/wk contract and I'm on a 30min unpaid break during a night shift. Your NHS negligence kills 500 people a week and you're telling us to work harder?! May I prescribe a visit to @specsavers?

After a one of the worst shifts in my ED career today this about sums up how all our NHS frontline workers feel. #Banksy @QEUHEDWellbeing @SouthGlasgowEM

When nurses go on strike…
Govt accuses them of putting patients’ lives in danger
Yet when multiple NHS trusts have to declare a critical incident due to chronic underfunding from successive Tory governments
…absolute tumbleweed.

Never seen A&E like this. Never seen staff so mentally and physically exhausted. Never felt so worried for our patients. Never felt so let down by those who have the power to fix this. When will someone say enough is enough? @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian @EdinburghEM

Today (29 Dec), we declared a critical incident due to the large number of people arriving at our Emergency Department. We're asking our local communities to help ease pressures on our hospitals & support us to safely discharge patients.

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.
The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.
@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.
To get them to listen, pls retweet

One of the greatest if not the greatest moments in British history was the inspiration to create the #NHS a service for all no matter what our background and it’s served us well.
It’s crying for help and it’s workers need help.
