I’m actually embarrassed of fellow humans who have used the murder of an innocent female as an excuse to gather in the park, without masks chanting hate @metpoliceuk and then blaming the police for being heavy handed! NOT shame on police- shame on you #ClaphamCommon

Today in a+e I saw at least 3 staff crying from absolute breaking point (including me whilst apologising to the wife of a man dying in a noisy full to breaking dept) Breaking point does’t begin to describe #ED today- what does the future hold?? At least it’s #notacrisis 🙄

Right folks can anyone guess what’s going on here? Some of you will never have seen this before, I certainly haven’t seen this for a while. It’s empty majors care spaces ready to receive patients direct from the ambulance without any delays to care, it was a beautiful sight! 🙌

Heard the most amazing thing today from a friend… her director of nursing holds ‘career chats’ with all senior nurses and asks where they see their career going, and how she can help. My friend is now starting a director of nursing scholarship… now that is great #leadership

What is it with female nurses and doctors cutting about with their really long hair over scrubs and not tied up? I know I sound boring and old fashioned but we are in the middle of an infection control nightmare! 🙄

An ED nurse is not a job- it’s a career, a skill, a passion. It’s not turning up for 11.75 hours and completing tasks, it’s looking after patients. This job is not for anyone! Please care about your patients always! Empathy is hard in crowded depts but not impossible! #TeamED

#Netflix have relaunched Bodies (2004) about a hospital unit with some very good examples of bad culture and bad behaviour by both clinical teams and management. It was 2004…. But I cannot help wonder why it is suddenly in the top 10? What are peoples thoughts? Any realism?

Deciding whether we should use mechanical CPR is not based on outcomes- it’s not are they better it’s are they as good as human hands- yes, do they get tired- no, can they carry on in a moving ambulance- yes does this mean I can do other important tasks- yes. #nobrainer

Nurses in ED Undress your patients into a gown, especially if they are in resus. I understand things are different and the question is, if the patient then ends up in a corridor etc but that isn’t a reason not to undress in the first place- trust me you will miss things!

Tonight’s episode of #GPsBehindClosedDoors is in memory of Peter Wilkinson, who, despite battling terminal prostate cancer, still took some freshly picked tomatoes in for @DrAmirKhanGP when he visited the surgery. What a truly incredible guy.

Wish this image was around when I was learning dermatomes.. Think of this position & they become sooooo logical and easy and to remember!! We must put something like this in the next edition of Gray's Surgical Anatomy

This is the awesome Dr Joe Patten from #teamED @UHP_NHS who is the winner of the #oneshoeaward for being the most approachable junior doctor! It couldn’t have gone to a nicer dude! What a lucky team we are to have this #EDLegend ! @suzythain @ClareBosanko

Today I challenged 3 people about #ppe use in ED. Mask tucked under chin and lots of touching face pulling mask up then down etc. #1 told me the rules must have changed and he thought he was right 😬 #2 said nothing but acted #3 thanked me for the feedback 😊 #PPEdrills

Finishing pretty late after shift is common these days, a combination of not enough folk to truly handover to/feeling safe to just walk out… anyway getting home to this face definitely makes post shift better right now. ED is tough right now 😓 #kaizenpup

What an absolutely fantastic opening talk at #RCEMcpd by the fabulous Dr Chris Moulton. Sad at points as we recognise the inefficiencies in our daily ED care but the final slide sums up our wish. Is it really an impossible dream?? @RCEMevents @RCollEM

If that shift was a measure of what’s to come in 2024 then I can only pray for us all! Moral injury doesn’t even come close to the things I saw today in a UK ED. #MedTwitter
