We welcome the commitment from the Secretary of Health and Social Care to fully eradicate corridor care by 2029. We now need to see words matched with action. rcem.ac.uk/press-release/rce…

"Pressures in emergency services are felt more in rural and coastal areas." @YSTeachingNHS, @UniOfYork and @unibirmingham will be using £1.2 million of national funding to investigate how urgent and emergency care could be improved in more rural areas, like Scarborough.

“Care delivered in corridors and other non-clinical spaces is unsafe, undignified and unacceptable. It violates the privacy of patients and leaves staff without access to essential, life-saving equipment. There are no circumstances under which it constitutes good, safe care. “What once used to be an exceptional circumstance, is now happening regularly in our hospitals. Health leaders and the secretary of state must waste no time in eradicating this shocking practice in the interests of patients and staff.” @theRCN responds to our call to end the normalisation of unacceptable and dangerous 'Corridor Care' 👇 shorturl.at/Rz395

We are on @MetroUK front page and in other media channels today because we have made it clear that the NHS temporary escalation spaces (TES) guide is "normalisation of what is an unacceptable and dangerous situation" @RCEMpresident. 👇 Links below. Our healthcare workers and their patients deserve better.

Much more than beds, beds, beds frankly

It’s also about decisions, decisions, decisions and risk, risk, risk. We need to make sure we are all making balanced judgements when deciding a patient needs to stay in hospital.

Feedback from this course is consistently excellent
Last few years of speciality training? 2 days of targeted interactive education that will make you an even better consultant …. Our feedback hopefully speaks for itself. “Fabulous” “one of the best courses…” “ Thoroughly enjoyed both days.. very enlightened, I have to say”

Long overdue reform of adult #socialcare could play a significant role in cutting these dreadful hospital waiting list figures by providing care where people need it and freeing up hospital beds. We need change now. loom.ly/N37Rk8k

This is the definitive tick list I think
The relationship between manager & staff is the most highly correlated factor in happiness at work. A top boss: - delegates with confidence - praises great work - doesn’t micromanage - champions, elevates & inspires - steps forward when needed - steps back to watch others shine

.@cmo_england puts a geographical spin on the challenge posed by demographic transition: ageing population is distributed spatially unequally, so health and care system's response will need to be too #ntsummit
