During the current strike action, to make sure we can treat the most serious and life-threatening conditions, please only come to the Emergency Department if it is an emergency. If you do need urgent care, you may be seen more quickly at Teddington UTC, which is open until 8pm.

Here hoping to see a navy blue win ….🤞🏻🏉

3 solutions to the emergency care crisis from BGS President Adam Gordon MBE: 1. Shift in attitudes - half of patients have frailty. 2. Front door frailty. 3. Investment in rehabilitation. Until we fix rehab, the revolving door will continue. Royal College of Emergency Medicine

@debedee21 My hair. Annoying as I spent thousands stopping the grey for 20 minutes and now everyone thinks it's great 😂

During the current strike action, our Emergency Department will be prioritising patients that need care most urgently and waiting times will be longer than usual. If you do need urgent care, you may be seen more quickly at Teddington Urgent Treatment Centre, open 8am - 8pm.

Just update on the Velindre World Cup Bike Ride a lot of you sponsored me for. My wife Jen passed away recently from breast cancer so I did not make the trip. I am doing the entire course virtually on a Wattbike. Thanks if you have donated already. If not: justgiving.com/fundraising/Ga…

Intermediate care must include provision of rehab for older people. Failure to provide this is inhumane and causes further ill health. We are shocked to read in Health Service Journal that this isn't being routinely provided. bgs.org.uk/Rehab #RighttoRehab
