Highly commended for our system and team work. Well done all! @QAHospitalNews South Central Ambulance Service NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight #HSJpatientsafety

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

New report reveals shocking number of excess deaths caused by crowding in Emergency Depts. last year A new RCEM report ‘Crowding + its Consequences’ has found that at least 4,519 patients have died as a result of crowding +12 hr stays in Emergency Depts. in England in 2020-2021.

To have a functioning emergency care system we need flow through our Emergency Departments. If no flow, the EM team cannot get the next walk in patient into a cubicle & work out whether there is a serious health issue or not. #crowdingkills
