How much evidence is required before corridor care receives the type of formal examination applied to other patterns of avoidable NHS harm?

Do any Emergency Medicine folk have a set of patient advice leaflets they would be happy to share with me as we are updating our Trusts at present and I have desire to re-invent the wheel. DM would be fab. I would need word/PDF copies ☺️🙏🏻

Slaley Hall kindly gifted us the use of their venue for our crew training day yesterday.
We also had complimentary team-building activities from AllOut Adventures, giving our crews the chance to train and reconnect away from the frontline.
Thank you both for your support! 💚

Whats in a #felltopassessors rucksack for a day on #Helvellyn in winter?
It's not all carried everyday but it's always a deliberate decision to leave any kit behind
Missing: spare warm layers / belay jacket

Team doing what they do best last night ☺️💪🏻 #KeswickMRT I definitely got to inspect the nose gear compartment of rescue 936 last night from around 10 metres 😂 with SAR / GNAAS / NWAS / Police. Speedy recovery to our patient.

⚠️ Eastern Way, Carlisle closed ⚠️
A collision has closed Eastern Way in Carlisle between London Road (A6) and Brunel Way. @GNairambulance in attendance.
Motorists should avoid the area until further notice.

✋Mind the edge! N-E facing edges of Helvellyn around the summit currently have a cornice ⚠️, in flat light/bad visibility they can be easy to walk off. Look out for them and navigate away from them if in doubt, they are only meters from the top cairn/pillar! Paddy

When are the leaders of this country going to focus on fixing this properly?
The ease in pressure on EDs over the festive period must be replicated throughout the year in order to get the hospital system back on track.
That's our key message in response to NHS England’s latest situation report, published today (8 January), which covers 28 December-4 January.
They showed that bed occupancy, delayed discharges and ambulance handover times have all degraded significantly.

Our Dauphin helicopters have carried our crews to thousands of patients in their worst moments 💚
So, as we look to the future, why are we choosing H145s to replace our our ageing fleet?

Prof. David Lockey delivers the Gibson Lecture on ‘Process: friend or foe?’. Process and systems have improved pre-hospital care, but “if you put poor process into your system, you get system fatigue and things get worse.” #FPHC2025

So-called ‘corridor care’, a year-round ED crisis and the abysmal conditions EM staff and their patients face every single day.
These are just some of the issues

Can’t get a GP appointment. Granny stuck on a trolley in A&E for 12 hours waiting to be seen. Doctors replaced by non-medically qualified Physician Assistants. Meanwhile, doctors without training jobs are delivering pizzas to make ends meet. What a crazy world!
