The common theme hearing patient’s stories of physical and mental trauma. #communication affects safety sometimes and quality often #EMSA18 #qualityandsafety

Hurt people want raw connection not levity or empty platitudes #EMSA18

Even Dr. Chris Baggoley (former Medical Director of Australia) recognises the critical importance of #ED flow to quality, safety and efficiency. When he brings in his relative he doesn’t ask who the doctor is, he wants to know who the flow co-ordinator is. #EMSA18

Lindsay Baker does not disappoint. The funniest and most passionate talk I have ever heard on #changemanagement #accessblock #EDovercrowding Our hospital executive could learn a thing or two. #EMSA18

Lindsay Baker puts the human face on #EDovercrowding by describing the relief seen on relatives faces when she has found a ward bed for the patient. The time to rest and heal has begun..... #EMSA18

We need to get bureaucrats to understand that the #EmergencyDepartment manages and filters the risk of the entire hospital. And #accessblock decreases our ability to do this effectively when we cannot decant stable patients to another area of the hospital #EMSA18

We need to get bureaucrats to know when #EmergencyPhysicians adds value to patient care and when rest of hospital does. Being satisfied they are in the general vicinity of the hospital achieves nothing. #EMSA18 #accessblock

#Accessblock is predominantly a burden on #EDnursing #resources the ED doctors have already done most of the work (waiting for inpatient teams to do theirs). #EMSA18

Megan Brooks. Director of nRAH explaining how you articulate the concept of #ED #accessblock to people who don’t work in the #ED #EMSA18

Major threats to effective #triage. Interruptions and decision fatigue #EMSA18

Pearl #1 @FatamboGary Trust your gut if you are about to make a critical decision and it feels wrong. Stop-Think when someone tells you to #EMSA18

Pearl #2 @_NMay #HCW s hold great power over patients and needs to discharge their duties with sober humility. #EMSA18

Pearl #4 @KangarooBeach #EMSA18
July 9, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Pearl #3 - @IanMeducator Superior judgment outweighs Superior skill (I would add Superior leadership sits above both) #EMSA18

A #prehospital provider asked ‘Why can’t #SAAS crews do the same as in Queensland?’ Easy answer - an evidence base, lobbying, training, leadership, governance, audit, continuous professional development, accountability. #EMSA18

In a rapidly unfolding #complextrauma the key is meticulous, practiced, efficiency - binders, splints, venous access, secure airway, keep warm @FatamboGary #EMSA18 (I would also add get the hell out of there as quickly and safely as you can)
