What has been seen today on @C4Dispatches is sadly not isolated.Our members are doing their best in a system in crisis. It should galvanise those who form the next Goverment into action. This is not okay. This should not be normalised. Patients & our members deserve better

I really liked this representation of primary care work. Should be read and thought about by any member of ED staff before they do any media interviews about the cause of ED crowding (clue: it’s flow not primary care!).

A 39 year old has passed away whilst waiting to be seen in AnE She was waiting for 7 hours. This is truly sad news. I’m sorry, but this government and NHS leadership frankly do not care. https://t.co/fYGSBJ4sn1
