A longer explanation of the RCEM calculations on excess mortality from long A&E waits and the deeply inadequate NHSE response:

We’ve had an unprecedented response from thousands of people across our communities to our `Buy it for Life' appeal which has raised over £250K in just over a week. There's a long way to go, but thank you to everyone who has supported this urgent appeal. Aakss.org.uk/helicopter

Patients can't get appointments to see a GP despite GPs working their socks off (we need more GPs) and yet I heard today people completing their many years of training as GPs can't find a job. What is going on???!

If you'd like to take a sabbatical or just time out of work, & have kids, but your boss can't work it out...
Remember you are entitled to unpaid parental leave of 18 weeks per child up to their 18th birthday, of which you can take up to 4 weeks per child per year.
You're welcome.

Being science based, we will only report what we know, not just what seems plausible. There will be additional deaths to the 250 / week in a number of UEC settings. These aren't quantified, so we didn't include them. a short 🧵

To prepare for future pandemics we’re going to need better ways of measuring & monitoring healthcare system capacity. Counting stuff won’t cut it. The BMJ analysis from Charlotte Summers Tim Cook & me.

12. It really doesn't matter if someone with a cut finger waits 4 hours and one minute, but it matters very much if a person with a broken hip stays more than 12 hours. The effort needs to be focused on the people who need admission.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the long weekend. With the release of the long-awaited 2024/25 operational planning guidance from NHS England just prior, we thought we’d turn a 30+ page document into an efficient snapshot ➡️ carnallfarrar.com/nhs-england-20…

Last year when Royal College of Emergency Medicine exposed the scale of deaths associated with long waits we were gaslit by NHSE who questioned the data without providing credible reasons. It has stood up to scrutiny. This reestimate is conservative, and scandalous rcem.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… 1/2

King's Majora Trauma Centre serves south London, Kent and Medway. 3 locum trauma surgeons have been cut to save cash leaving just 2 trauma surgeons on a 24/7 rota and staff tell me they fear it is unsafe.

Encountered this during quick audit of a box of photographs at The Keep today. The date on reverse: 28 March 2003 - 21 years ago today.

One day while sat at the piano I was playing around with melodies and this came out. Sometimes I don't have words to explain or express the thing that wants to be expressed. In those moments I'm so grateful for music

This is for you Callum Mackay

Love this song so much. It makes me feel young and old all at the same time.
