I don’t know who wrote this in the lift I just got into but if you wanted to sum up international approaches to healthcare safety or staff wellbeing, this would be it.

Challenging several weeks ahead. A few questions. How will these hospital and ICU beds be staffed? What about primary care? What about ED? We need a workforce plan. We need coordination between state and federal governments. We need honest, courageous leadership.

Today the RAH is needing to increase COVID capacity - however they are unable to do so due to ambulance shortages. Transfers out of the RAH are still waiting over 20hrs for an available ambulance. #saparli

It’s now clear his government was not ready. We’ve seen the pictures of the long queues for COVID testing. Today there were reports of interstate travellers giving up waiting nearly 5 hours for their obligatory test on arrival and just going to the cricket without having the test – at Adelaide, South Australia

Today is the first day of SA Health’s no ramping direction. Multiple crews ramped. An 89yo patient was ramped for almost 3 hours. A direction without a Govt willing to provide additional capacity, funding or resources will not resolve ramping. #saparli #stopramping – at Adelaide, South Australia

3/ A wee bit of poison is worse then none, but better than a big gulp of the stuff. Masks, social distancing may not take #SARSCoV2 exposure to zero in all circumstances, but they reduce how many viruses a person inhales -- and that is literally a matter of life, or death. 😷😷

For anyone who wasn't listening at the back... EM management of hypertension: 1) The only step in the EM management of HTN is referral to primary care. 2) A safe blood pressure is a BP with no symptoms. 3) If you are going to treat HTN it should be in resus, intravenously.

Do not use amlodipine acutely - it takes too long. It doesn't work (shades of regular phone calls to me as the med reg at 2am) #bgsconf

We don't want wellbeing rooms or yoga sessions, we want: Car parking spaces. Lockers. Desks. Access to computers. Rotas in advance. A place to rest. Respect.

Relational coordination theory suggests high functioning teams have shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect. Reflection on these relational foundations help us identify unique ways to get just 1% better. @GetCuriousNow @SocraticEM #smacc heller.brandeis.edu/relation…

What is the best use of script guided mental rehearsal? Initial learning, improving skills, or maintaining competence? @smaccteam @riggsy @MazurStef I'm sure you've got some thoughts on this #SMACC
