“You cannot, in an epidemic, just take your own risk. Unfortunately, you’re taking a risk on behalf of everybody else.” Earlier today, Professor Chris Whitty Professor Chris Whitty explained why it is still crucial for people to follow the guidance on #coronavirus. Watch:

A&E should not be treated as an alternative to a GP appointment; it's there to deal with genuine life-threatening emergencies only 🏥 If you do turn up and you don’t need to be there - you may re-directed to a more appropriate service for your needs ❗

For the avoidance of doubt- Emergency departments remain open for all ill and injured patients and have systems for safely looking after people with suspected COVID-19.

SAFETY FLASH: #PPE fatigue costs lives, don’t drop your guard. Our patient’s protection is our responsibility and your own protection is your own responsibility. Know your PPE, wear your PPE - hospital acquired infection kills: rcem.ac.uk/docs/Safety/RC…

The winter months are busy for our A&E departments and this year we're facing the additional challenge of #COVID19 ❄️ It’s been a tough year, please don’t make it any harder for us 😔 #DoYourBit and think pharmacy, GP & 111 first and keep A&E for those that really need it 💭

This week I completed the #PHEA prehospital emergency anaesthesia course with Great North Air Ambulance 🧵🪡 Originally booked to transfer knowledge to ED practice but now also working as @CSIBASICS BASICS_HQ doc

Got really helpful formative feedback from the PreHospital Emergency Anaesthesia course today. Very helpful stuff from a great course. If you can do it, then go on it (when bookings reopen) I've already put this learning into practice Great North Air Ambulance greatnorthairambulance.co.uk/training/phea/

Humility matters in senior leaders. A new study found when there's a more humble CEO at the helm, its leadership team is more likely to collaborate, share information, jointly make decisions & have a shared vision: createvalue.org/wp-content/upl… Via Amy Edmondson Graphic Julian Stodd

We agree! There is a serious patient safety concern with ED crowding and exit block causing harm and ambulance offload delays which also cause direct and indirect (the unknown patient at home ) harm. This is a health system problem and needs addressing as such Royal College of Emergency Medicine
