Ok #meded #MedTwitter It's time to leave. I loved what #Twitter gave me when I joined up. A nice community of medics, sharing stories, sharing education. I'm not getting that now, so . So long. I'm off to try @Peerr_io and work on @LinkedIn.

A sad day for English football fans’ partners. The incidence of domestic violence goes up after England loses. If you are affected by this please contact your local service. If you work in healthcare remember that people may seek help through you because of this.

Thanks #C4NHSdebate. Sadly no real solutions beyond the inevitable request for more money💰and the joyful fingers crossed 🤞 “we need to be optimistic for the future”. Reminds me of bed management meetings before a bank holiday weekend.

As I watch this, and it’s a difficult watch for anyone who cares deeply about the NHS, I have to say (again) I’m very impressed by Dr Adrian Boyle @RCEMpresident. We need more senior leaders calling out terrible standards in the NHS, speaking truth to power. All College.

@RCEMpresident Adrian Boyle nailing it as always - the problem is NOT inappropriate attenders to ED but flow through the system.

Good to acknowledge that A&E is the most visible aspect of the NHS but the problems are system wide.

Are politicians too scared to make big, sensible plans for the NHS?. #C4NHSdebate.

Fascinating lack of mention of the NHS in the main party manifestos.

Quite nice to have a debate on the #NHS without politicians!. The NHS is tired of being a political football and since 1948 no political party has covered themselves in glory about how the NHS is managed. Time for a cross-party style of leadership?.#C4NHSdebate.

@C4Dispatches @RCollEM @RCEMpresident Will be interesting to see the debate as a result of this brave reporting by #c4dispatches of #emergencycare. I feel so sad for all those patients; and also for the staff depicted presumably without their consent and probably are identifiable within their Trust.

@C4Dispatches @RCollEM @RCEMpresident Awful patient stories from #c4dispatches and rightly this narrative should be theirs. Remember every worker in healthcare who sees this everyday and can’t do anything about the pressures is also affected #moralinjury #emergencycare.

@C4Dispatches Thanks to @RCollEM and especially @RCEMpresident for collaborating with this (post filming of the clinical shots) and explaining clearly what the issues and causes are.
