ā€œOur study also suggests that the removal of the 4-hour standard does not impact all patients equallyā€ Children and Young people are likely to be disproportionately affected by changes in standards and important this is considered in any national change in U&EC metrics
#OnlineFirst "Lifting the 4-hour access standard reporting was associated with a drop in short-stay admissions to the hospital. However, it was also associated with an increase in the average length of stay in the ED" emj.bmj.com/content/early/20… @RCEMpresident @RCollEM

Invasive group A step still at higher upper levels of normal. Going to be interesting to see what this winter brings. Think will need a clear action plan for rising cases in October/November which balances caution without inducing unnecessary concern. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

It was The Reith Lectures that got me hooked on reading Atul's writing - thought provoking and inspiring
One of the most powerful pieces of broadcasting i had ever heard and it changed me, i just re listened and it is i believe more relevant than ever, for all those dealing with end of life.Whether that be our own life,our loved ones or our patients. šŸ™ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b04tjd…

Whilst I might personally struggle with the endless special days / weeks / months for different groups (this one included) I agree with this message. Despite the challenges 'best job in the world' for me and I get to work with great people - doctors and many many others

Just joined a paediatric palliative care network meeting after a weekend of resident nights (as an elderly general paeds consultant - definitely camera off 🤣) May have got a bit 'ranty' about boundaries - geography, age, commissioning and being patient / family centered.......

So lovely to see many friendly faces smiling back. People I have known in many varied guises - from SHOs I have supervised, community nurses I love and rely on, to the one of the paediatricians I respect the most and even taught me as a final year med student @MartinHussey5
