That was an epic session. Challenging, inspiring and hopeful from two fabulous speakers. #rcemasc
.... population than the original studies. Interestingly the score ws less useful in this cohoert with more pts with lower scores having complications (a lot of this due to a longer hospital stay which may be a function of age and comorbidity). #rcemasc
Here in Virchester we are very keen. on appropriate treatment of chest injury as it's a really significant cause of mortality and morbidity in our trauma patients. This study was effectivey a validation study of the score in a different and notably older .... #rcemasc
Free papers session at #rcemasc Paul Adamson on the battle scrore (also known as the STUMBL score which is actually preferred by the original author) for stratification of chest injury in a regional trauma unit.
. #rcemasc Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome.
Increasingly common in Virchester. Look for evidence of cannibinoid use in vomiting patients.
Why it happens? We don't really know.
. #rcemasc Lot of support for academia, research and innovation but will that be supported and funded?
We will need more clinical academics in EM if we want to make that happen.
. #rcemasc Targets are always of interest. There appeared to be consensus for a target specifcally for 12 hour waits. Adrian suggesting a zero-tolerance for 12 hour waits. I would agree.
. #rcemasc Julian Redhead (NHSE) from stated that the current government wants to return to NHS constitution standards - so that means a return to the 95% 4-hour target. Something that we are a long, long way away from at the...
Panel discussion at #rcemasc considered blocks to get into training (high competition ratios) at risks to no consultant jobs at the end.
Consider - is it better to have progression challenges at entry point or exit point of training?
#rcemasc @Rebeccasmt Patient experience can develop and inform policy. Also stories of mental health in EM are shocking (we agree - the longest waits are for mental health patients).
#rcemasc @Rebeccasmt from the independent newspaper talked on how the narrative around waits has changed. Stories really matter. We are increasingly immune to the generalities, but stories and real experiences count.
#rcemasc The Darzi review is another key document that RCEM has contributed. to. The key thing for us is that it explicitly accepts that long waits harm patients, and that the working ecxperience is poor. We know this, but for the first time this is a true acceptance of it.
#rcemasc You will also be familiar with the comparators of burnout and sexual harrasment against trainees where EM scores highly (i.e. badly). So lots of work still needed on workforce and culture.
#rcemasc We are seeing more and more consultants (and other staff going part time or retiring early. RCEM estimates that there are 180 empty posts across the UK at the moment. There are clearly gaps as 35% of deprtments have less than 16 hours a day departmental consultant cover
Opening #rcemasc with @RCEMpresident
Lots going on at @RCollEM ahead of what looks like a tough winter.
The recent workforce census and subsequent recommendations is a good example. That document shows huge discrepancies in the number of consultants (and other staff)
In @EMTAcommittee session @cruncherwax pointed us to the @gmcuk work psychology documents on what good training looks like. It looks really good and well worth a look. #RCEMasc...
Also worth looking at the GIRFT info on EM here #RCEMasc

In the @EMTAcommittee session. Lots of chat about making training better. Lots of suggestions, but mostly they are about valuing trainees and their learning experience. #RCEMasc
Worth a look here at @rcollem document on promoting excellence in...
It’s been great to hear about all the projects supported by @RCollEM and @NIHRresearch at #rcemasc
