Are specialty patients stuck in the ED, ED's problem?

The truth is that if the ED is packed with patients awaiting admission, it needs to become a whole system problem.

As always, we will help where we can, but we are NOT a spillover ward for services lacking capacity.

‘We want to improve flow in the hospital and data transparency says Adrian Boyle #RCEMCPD #ResuscitateEmergencyCare

The excellent David Chung 🦀 talks to #RCEMCPD about the issue of Differential Attainment in our healthcare institutions.

It's about getting out of our comfort zones and understanding that the work will never end, but that's ok, because it needs determination & passion to improve.

It's not Race that's a determinant of healthcare outcomes.

It's Racism that is a determinant of healthcare outcomes.

The distinction is vital because it will inform the strategies required to address this inequality and inequity in healthcare.

#RCEMCPD

An excellent talk delivered by Rita Das.

An often dismissed issue in modern healthcare, the ongoing racial disparities in healthcare outcomes is a stain on our services and it's not enough to label it as individual 'unconscious bias'.

The work has barely begun.

Our own Cardiff Emergency Medicine Education 💙 ST3, Dr Chris Fox now presenting his experience working around the world.

He rightly started with a warning around the neocolonialism that can be part of global health programs, and to be aware of falling into those traps.

Farage and Braverman are upset that the conference they were due to speak at in Brussels was shut down.

Imagine a government stopping foreigners coming over to their country to undermine their values and political system?

Something something free speech.

In BOSH!’s first book they call this the “World’s Best Pesto Lasagne”.

They weren’t wrong. It’s been in our regular rotation since we got the book when it first came out all those years ago.

They’re still the best #vegan #plantbased recipe books in my opinion.

Hi EE interested to know why you upsold my Mum a 4G router package in an area with no 4G coverage and locked her in to that contract?

Royal College of Emergency Medicine thank you for having me today to share my story and to talk about 2wish Cymru and 2wish
Thank you everyone for listening and thank you for all you do every day! X

I always wondered why that account gave me bad vibes.

Bad, bad vibes.

Chris Froome’s wife calls Muslims ‘a drain on society’

TBF... she said a lot more that was a lot worse than even that.

It's funny that she's so concerned about the state of the UK living as she does in…

Mr Eniola Folaranmi, Consultant in Paediatric Surgery, presents to #RCEMCPD about Blunt Abdominal Injury on children.

Don't be falsely reassured by the lack of external signs of injury in children with a good history of significant blunt abdominal injury.

Subtle huge metal dragon outside the ICCWales for the break in the sunshine at #rcemcpd - then back to the Paeds trauma session!

Mr Eniola Folaranmi presents a case of ingestion of toy magnet beads leading to multiple entero-enteric fistulae.

These 'toys' are 2-3 times stronger than regular magnets. Any more than 1 magnet ingested should be investigated even in asymptomatic patients.

Our own Nadiah 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 from Cardiff Emergency Medicine Education 💙 now up at #RCEMCPD talking about paediatric head injury.

Wonderful to finally be back at a conference with my peers. I didn't realise how much I'd missed this until I got here.

Great to see friends and colleagues on stage too since #RCEMCPD has made it to God's own country. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When I was a CMT1 I was in a godawful post where I ended up driving to a lake to drown myself after work one late night after finishing.

The Trust's Occupational Health sole suggestion was that I talk to my non existent supervisor 'if I was struggling'.

CW: Depression, PTSD, suicide.

This has just floored me.

One of the most powerful ads I've ever seen.

In the context of NHS England from today halting new registrations for practitioner mental health support, the work of organisations like Frontline19 will be lifesaving.
