Resus patients are quickly assessed and stepped down to make room for the next pre-alert, going to the area with those same poor nurses, already overstretched, now inheriting an severely unwell patient.

We need to accept the truth, the NHS isn’t breaking, it’s broken. And the same 🤬 who broke it are doing reality TV shows and writing books about how they saved the NHS whilst refusing to increase nursing pay. We try and shovel 💩 with spoons whilst they pour it in with dump trucks… (7/11)

The media and public might blame the A&E nurses and doctors for this, but honestly what the 🤬 are we meant to do with 180 people in a department built for 50. With 8 nurses rather than the MINIMUM staffing of 12. 1 or 2 nurses per area, giving meds, doing obs, trying to provide basic cares to 25-30 people, an absolute impossibility. And there’s less nurses every week, because honestly why would you put yourself through this day after day? (6/11)

People lying on the floor because there’s no chairs left, trolleys parked literally wherever we can put them.

Things have been getting even worse for the last 3 months. 5 weeks I came home raging to my wife that people are sitting in their own 💦 for hours and it’s so inhumane. Now we’ve got to the point where people are actually 💀. People who’ve been in A&E for 2-3 days, (5/11)

Where 5 years ago we had 50 patients in the department on handover at night, we now have 180. It used to be around 20 patients to see with a 1-2 hour wait for clinician, it’s now 60-70 with a 10 hour wait.

People used to lose their minds if patients were coming up to 4 hour breaches. Last night 60% of the patients in A&E had been there for more than 12 hours, some for more than 40. Many I saw the night before, still in the same place when I came on. (2/11)

No triage or obs after 2 hours of arrival, no 🩸 or ECGs or gas for 4 hours. Regularly finding people in the waiting room after 4 hours with initial gases showing hyperkalamia or severe acidosis or hypoglycaemia. (3/11)

87 year olds coming in after falls sitting on chairs for 18 hours. Other elderly patients lying in their own 💦 for hours because there’s no staff, or even room to change them into something dry. As the reg in charge of the shift, Ive had (on multiple occasions) to help the sole nurse in the area change patients by holding a sheet around the bed because we have to do it in the middle of a corridor.
