So much respect for respiratory staff. ED/ ITU have obviously been hit hard, but I honestly feel the respiratory team have been underestimated by some. Good job guys - youโ€™re amazing! Edinburgh EM Ward 204 Respiratory Medicine / NHS Lothian NHS Lothian

We really do have the best bunch of hard working, resilient nurses Iโ€™ve ever known in our ED. Things have been challenging to say the least, but they still turn up and do their best every single day! So very proud of our whole ED team ๐Ÿ’™ Edinburgh EM NHS Lothian Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Anyone else feeling VERY protective over our Emergency Departments just now? Feeling very defensive at the moment trying to keep staff going while theyโ€™re at breaking point and having to see all the negativity about poor performance. Give us a break.

Never seen A&E like this. Never seen staff so mentally and physically exhausted. Never felt so worried for our patients. Never felt so let down by those who have the power to fix this. When will someone say enough is enough? NHS Lothian Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Edinburgh EM

This is my GP practice and Dr Peat has been great when Iโ€™ve needed her. I also work in A&E and know the impact this will have on us. When will someone listen and do something to help?!

Did you know we operate a virtual A&E service which provides you with urgent video and telephone access to a team of emergency care specialists? If you think you need to visit A&E, but it's not life-threatening, consider using this service. You could be seen and treated faster.
