"Almost 500 instances this year when patients are being blue-lighted back into NHS hospitals for emergency care" "Private hospitals don’t train doctors, they have no emergency care and they choose the easiest cases. This disastrous cocktail makes them a burden on our NHS, which is forced to clean up after them"

Hospital at Home has expanded rapidly on the assumption it’s what patients want—but what do they really think? Some say there are issues of accountability gaps, a digital divide, and cliff edges around discharge back to primary care bmj.com/content/393/bmj.s769…

🚨 Clinical academics undertake years of additional research training — but this is not recognised in NHS consultant pay progression. This creates a structural inconsistency → ~£72,000–£81,000 lifetime loss per research year during training. 📖academic.oup.com/qjmed/advan…

Gosh. We are now at a stage where charities are offering to pay RNs privately for wound care visits, so that they can get out of hospital. Due to lack of district nurses they are stuck as an inpatient! Shame on you @wesstreeting @UKLabour! @alisonleary1

It has taken me more than 24 hrs to finish reading this article and I’ve spent that time with varying degrees of distress, anger and despair. I am however grateful to the authors for their research. I post the link with a trigger warning. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
