Both our A&Es have had a busy night - although Cheltenham provides a nurse-led service at night from 8pm to 8am, it is still very much an open department and there are patients in majors this morning. We expect a big surge here at Cheltenham after 8am today #AandELive

We are joining the 8 o'clock calls at both sites this morning so expect detailed updates following these. We know already that it's been a very busy night and lots of factors are putting pressures on beds throughout the hospitals. Much more to come on this later.. #AandELive

Our comms team are buddied up with senior staff members in both A&Es today - here's Sarah with Emergency Department Practice Development Nurse Mark, who will be helping us to bring you updates throughout the day #AandELive

At CGH, patients' first port of call after booking at reception will be Jayne and Caroline, who are running triage today. Triage ensures that people with the most serious conditions are seen first, so your arrival time does not necessarily mean you will be treated 1st #AandELive

Sometimes, this weekend, I felt I wasn't seeing enough patients. I saw many people that needed my TIME, and thanks to my amazing team, I was able to give it. It wasn't the stuff of 'ER' or 'casualty' but it was the stuff that's important. Amazing team Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Cgh ED 😍❤️
