On Monday, we deployed two doctors to the shocking and saddening events at the @taylorswift13 themed event in #Southport. Our volunteers played key roles in the delivery of the @NWAmbulance and @MerseyPolice major incidents plans. – at Salford, England
Update on Southport protest disturbance: NWAS stood down from major incident at 01:25 on Wednesday 31 July. We treated 39 patients in total, all of which were police officers. 27 were taken to hospital and 12 were treated and discharged at scene. (1/2)

🚨 The ambulance service and wider health service is under a lot of pressure today. As a result, you may experience a delay in getting an ambulance. Please only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency or 111.nhs.uk for non-urgent concerns.

One of the biggest frustrations in EM/A&E is other specialties telling us what our job is. How many guidelines and advice sheets end with ‘if concerned go to A&E’. It’s time to reclaim our specialty. Before it dies.
Not sure how I stumbled across this, but it is somewhat telling that it was published a year ago and had not appeared on my radar. Hypertension doctors have issued a position document on the management of hypertensive crises. @BIHSoc_Events nature.com/articles/s41371-0…

As hundreds of patients wait for ambulances across the north west, we can't stress enough that 999 is for life-threatening emergencies only! We are still extremely busy and unfortunately, for those who have called us and need our urgent help, we're coming but there will be a wait

Very true but to continue with the airport analogy, most people waiting for a delayed plane would like somewhere to sit down rather than waiting outside the airport in the rain. @NHSGIRFT @boltonnhsft
Those that advocate increasing size of ED floor space to off load ambulances as a solution appear to have little understanding of the problem or the solution akin to an over crowded backlogged airport and the solution is more space for more delayed passengers does nothing for
