Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Older people have a rough time in NHS Emergency Departments likely to impact badly on them & the wider system..
Those with frailty/geriatric syndromes are less likely to be assessed within 4 h of ED arrival & to receive timely consultant review 👇

Sunak lies effortlessly: The truth is Tory governments have brought our NHS to its knees with 13 years of underfunding. Sir Michael Marmot said if your hypothesis was that government was intentionally trying to destroy the NHS, the data would be consistent with that hypothesis.
Rishi Sunak, "NHS waiting lists are going up because of the #DoctorsStrike"
Susanna Reid, "That might be one of the reasons"
Rishi Sunak, "That is the Number 1 reason"

Imagine tweeting this from a private jet in a cost of living crisis when you've literally just cancelled the high-speed train line to the city you've been in. What sort of monstrous lack of awareness is going on?
This week I took long-term decisions to build a brighter future and change our country.
This change will:
🏘️ Transform our towns
🚆 Boost our transport
📚 Improve our education
🚭 Reduce cancer deaths
Here’s how👇

“Performative utterance” - it is all we have known in the ruling party 🇬🇧 since Johnson took over. The biggest thing Labour can offer this week is a return to seriousness.

"I would like to ask whether you have communicated your concerns directly to the Prime Minister who, tonight, could similarly write to me and open pay negotiations with both junior doctors and consultants?" Read @DrPhilBanfield's reply to NHS England's letter on patient safety.

#GeriatricEmergencyMedicine Results from @UHSFT Post @NICEComms on #headinjury. Low rate of bleeding, bleeding associated with high risk injury +/- clinical signs, time to stop scanning? Can we therefore keep people at home? @GeriSoc @RCollEM @EuGMSSociety #EuGMS2023 #EuGMS
