Difficult times for resident doctors in England because they are so dedicated & care deeply about patient care. In EM they go above and beyond despite the impossible working/training environment in our crowded EDs. Often undervalued, but the heartbeat and future of our speciality

The challenge of getting past Whatiffery applies to the whole clinical journey from referral to ED through to discharge ?

Big news! ACS:ED has been published online by the EMJ. Huge congratulations to over 700 TERN collaborators for creating the most accurate picture of chest pain presentations in UK EDs to date! emj.bmj.com/content/early/20…

excited to see the ACS:ED study go live today - must have started drafting the protocol about four years ago now and here we are! emj.bmj.com/content/early/20… @ternfellow

Previous responses have already led to fairer EDT provision, clear definitions of "full-time" hours, and enhanced training quality in crucial areas like paediatrics, minors, and ultrasound.
