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.

Last course of the day, its been a warm one. Cold drink ✔️ Fan ✔️. From teaching Clinicians with lots of knowledge, to parents with little knowledge, I do enjoy the variety of courses I teach. Now let's get this done!! @ABCMedical #parents #firstaid #cpr

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

Quote graphic - Joe Walsh, EMTA Co-Chair, said: “The new OOP ePortfolio Form is a much improved way to evidence your time out of programme. It is user friendly and should simplify how trainees obtain RCEM approval for their OOPT or OOPR.”
