Today was a full day of meetings with SCAS: Daily Critical Review, Peer Reviews, our weekly Patient Safety Team meeting, and a 1:1 catch‑up. We discussed numerous cases, each offering positive outcomes and important learning. A day that reflected our commitment to our patients and our clinicians.

Late shift completed, keeping my clinical skills up! Today I worked with a Nurse who I have known for sometime. I knew he had worked at the Hospital for a long time so I asked how long. He said "I started here October 1st 1975". What incredible service to the Hospital and patients. Huge respect!

📢 From today, EM trainees can apply for OOPT & OOPR directly through risr/. No Word forms. No signatures. No email submissions. Just a simpler digital process with built-in approvals, document uploads and application tracking. Read: rcem.ac.uk/college-n... #EMTraining #RCEM #EmergencyMedicine

Top tips for staying safe in the heat

- Look out for others

Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
The UKHSA advises that you know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and what to do.
Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats and may make you feel faint. If not cooled down, it can lead to heatstroke with symptoms like confusion and seizures,
Heatstroke is a medical emergency so call 999.
