The most common ED scenario after ROSC is palliative care. For patients in care homes raises the question about why CPR started and no advanced care plan. Maybe every case should be investigated as an adverse event - a missed opportunity to plan appropriate care?

Lovely thread of non-EM Drs basically saying we are rubbish at our jobs and others could do better. Remember why I left this place
💯especially the truly awful NICE head injury guidance which forces clinicians towards CT head without giving pause for NICE’s own (largely invisible and unread) advice that clinicians’ responsibility is to take account of ‘individual needs preferences and values’

@hancock7b @ernie1483 From the outset of the project the vision was to try something different + evaluate it. The emergency care crisis is a whole system problem + will need a whole host of projects. My worry is that if we don’t try something different,we just accept the same problems every day 2/2
