All 19 NHS trusts using the Lorenzo electronic patient record system have had a severe system failure today with no access to records impacting theatre lists, clinics, wards & med prescribing etc. The problem was the result of a failure in the Amazon Web Services data centre 1/2

Can't believe this is actually real...but it is! Ecstatic to be appointed the VP Membership for RCEM. Up for the challenge and most importantly...I'm listening.

As a front line NHS worker, I’m not sure what worries me more? How all over the country our patients are suffering because of the current state of the nhs …………or how little the press report it.

How awful. Ambulances are working flat out but I can't see much improving if they are not being turned round quicker at hospitals (West Midlands has particular problem)

Cancer patient died waiting 8 hours for an ambulance in Shrewsbury. Was found sat in a chair with coat on and bag ready to go to hospital @OFFICIALWMAS confirmed. But no comment on two further Birmingham deaths from the same source. One lay for 24hrs, it's claimed.
