I remember well the 1st time I sat all night with my elderly dad in a hospital corridor - we can’t forget that normal care means a bed and a staffed rota.
@RCPWales
@csubbe
Sadly the new "normal" in urgent and emergency care is prolonged waits and degrading corridor care with associated harm.
The grave concern is that things can get even worse than this "normal".

New cancer drugs are saving lives but side effects can be challenging to spot in acute care. Please ask about alert cards & call AOS
#AOSAwarenessWeek
@RCPWales
@RickyFrazer1
Alert Cards are carried by Welsh patients receiving anti-cancer drug treatments (eg chemotherapy or immunotherapy), listing key symptoms to watch out for and a 24-hour number to contact if unwell. Find out more in our video below

Deprescribing is a key skill in oncology but we just tend to pile new drugs on. Does anyone need a statin in last year of life?

Deprescribed most of a 99 year old’s meds today and was surprised by just how delighted he was - he thought he’d never eat another grapefruit in his lifetime! 🥺 Let them eat grapefruits! (and reduce the anticholinergic burden and all that 🥱)

So better IT - what does this mean? High tech? AI? Welsh trainees might settle for just getting onto a working screen. I’ve visited 7 hospitals over last 12 months. In every hospital patients wait in corridors & our doctors wait to get a free computer.
