🗣️ Crowding has been a problem for close to 10 years now, and politically grasping the challenge of solving an ED problem when the solution lies outside the ED, is multi-agency and multifactorial has seemed difficult.

🧵5/6 This issue must be a political priority.

RCEM President's response to @rcn.org.uk’s harrowing report on #CorridorCare in which nurses starkly detail the scale of the issue across the country, and the toll it is taking.

Picture of RCEM President Adrian Boyle with the quote: “Our nursing colleagues have spoken loudly and clearly, and the horror of the situation is stark and cannot be ignored. “This must be a watershed moment, a line in the sand. Yesterday the Secretary of State committed to learning the lessons from this winter and reiterated the Government’s ambition to end corridor care before next winter – ending this national health shame must be a political priority.”

So called ‘corridor care’ is degrading, dehumanising and dangerous.

We must not normalise the unacceptable.

NHS short staffing associated with at least 4,000 extra deaths annually.

High staff turnover & reliance on agency workers lead to severe consequences, esp. in A&Es.

Stable, well-staffed workforce needed for patient safety & quality care #ResuscitateEmergencyCare

12 hour waits for a bed in the ED used to be a red line, never to be crossed.

Now it is a just a part of life in ED.

For every 72 patients waiting 8-12 hours in ED there will be one excess death.

This is still unnacceptable.
