🚨 New report out today 🚨 Today we publish the first in our Hospital of the Future paper series. Hospitals are in crisis. As well as facing a litany of issues in the short term, they face a long-term identity crisis as we move to a model of out-of-hospital care and prevention. This project seeks to reimagine hospitals for the needs of modern societies rather than the post-war society they were originally designed for. This paper is the first in a series that will outline a vision for the hospital within a system re-orientated towards prevention. Read it below 👇 https://lnkd.in/ekAunZXq

This week, I’ve had the honour of talking at the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Annual Scientific Conference, a total of four times 😬. I wasn’t intentionally hogging any limelight as two of these were covering for other speakers who couldn’t make it. My topics included: 🩸 An evidence-based discussion of anticoagulant reversal and repletion strategies with Simon Carley and AstraZeneca (no fee accepted!). We covered some really challenging and nuanced areas relating to time critical decisions about reversal. 🚨 Early results of the BEST-2 study looking at the diagnostic accuracy of the Siemens Healthineers Atellica VTLi point of care high-sensitivity troponin test, with a discussion of our ongoing work to translate research findings into practice, especially with North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust ⏰ A sneak preview of some early data from the TMACS choice trial evaluating the feasibility of a large trial to explore shared decision making for patients with chest pain. This work has been championed so well by Patricia van den Berg. I was honored to present this in front of HRH Princess Anne, the patron of RCEM. ❤️Finally, I asked if there’s still room for compassion in emergency care, despite all the challenges. The answer is yes! But we must look after ourselves first. I explored the important roles of self-compassion, emotional intelligence and creating a culture of psychological safety. My slides can be seen below. It was amazing to see so many great colleagues, and to learn from so much inspiring work that’s going on in our specialty.
