Burnout remains a issue beyond training in EM. Half reducing hours to protect themselves.
Needs a whole system response. #EMTA2025

#ICYMI No sign of winter pressures easing. A&Es bear the brunt of a gridlocked system.
Hospitals are running dangerously close to capacity, thousands of people each day remain in hospital when they could go home and the system is grinding to a halt.

if the NHS was a better employer, if conditions were more humane, if the work was less toxic and management more civilised, would we need to worry about being resilient? myemail.constantcontact.com/…

Talking about the process of dying & speaking to families of patients who are sick enough to die is not an easy conversation by an incredible important one.
@drkathrynmannix speaking at #EMTA2024 on how to approach such conversations.
