Dear Emergency Medicine trainees in the UK, please complete the #EMTAsurvey . The report from the survey gets presented to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Training Standards Committee and we in the #POCUS committee get to review it and make changes where we can.

Correction. Apologies and thanks for pointing it out

When Nick Robinson interviewed Victoria Atkins on BBC Radio 4 Today at 8.10am this morning about A&E performance he said our analysis showed there were 250+ deaths a day associated with a&e long waits.

The 250+ figure is PER WEEK (2023)

How much data, repeated how many times do we need to see before we understand that “social” care must be fixed?

And not just to help treat people at the front doors of our hospitals, but to support those people stuck in hospital who don’t want or need to be.
