“Our study also suggests that the removal of the 4-hour standard does not impact all patients equally”
Children and Young people are likely to be disproportionately affected by changes in standards and important this is considered in any national change in U&EC metrics – at East Midlands, England

"Lifting the 4-hour access standard reporting was associated with a drop in short-stay admissions to the hospital. However, it was also associated with an increase in the average length of stay in the ED"

Invasive group A step still at higher upper levels of normal.
Going to be interesting to see what this winter brings.
Think will need a clear action plan for rising cases in October/November which balances caution without inducing unnecessary concern.

It was The Reith Lectures that got me hooked on reading Atul's writing - thought provoking and inspiring
One of the most powerful pieces of broadcasting i had ever heard and it changed me, i just re listened and it is i believe more relevant than ever, for all those dealing with end of life.Whether that be our own life,our loved ones or our patients. 🙏 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b04tjd…
Chillier than it looks and a reef in the main required but great to see the sunshine for our first weekend on the water for 2023 😀
Whilst I might personally struggle with the endless special days / weeks / months for different groups (this one included) I agree with this message. Despite the challenges 'best job in the world' for me and I get to work with great people - doctors and many many others

Just joined a paediatric palliative care network meeting after a weekend of resident nights (as an elderly general paeds consultant - definitely camera off 🤣) May have got a bit 'ranty' about boundaries - geography, age, commissioning and being patient / family centered.......
So lovely to see many friendly faces smiling back. People I have known in many varied guises - from SHOs I have supervised, community nurses I love and rely on, to the one of the paediatricians I respect the most and even taught me as a final year med student @MartinHussey5
Sounds really interesting. Shame mine are too young this time
