Every hospital in the UK is under significant pressure and a new Covid
surge is a very heavy straw on the camels back, health leaders have >warned.
At least eight hospitals declared a critical incident, cancelled
operations or asked people not to come to A&E unless they were seriously
ill last week. One of Britains most senior emergency doctor said there
were links between incidents like these and the rapid rise in >hospitalisations for Covid, up nearly 37% in a week to 7,024. While the >Office for National Statistics said it was too early to say if an autumn >Covid wave had begun, health leaders said ministers need to urgently
address staffing shortages.
Dr Adrian Boyle, the incoming president of the Royal College of
Emergency Medicine told the Observer: Our system is under-resourced. We >dont have enough beds, and we dont have the workforce for the demand
that were being asked to deal with.

Covid is a very heavy straw on the camels back.
The first signs of an increase in Covid infections came in southwest
England. Last Friday, NHS Devon warned people of longer than usual
waits in emergency departments. NHS Devons chief nurse Darryn Allcorn
said people who came to A&E without a life-threatening emergency may be >directed to a more appropriate service.

Nottingham University Hospitals Trust >declared a critical incident, postponing some operations due to extreme >pressures, and by Friday the alert was expanded to cover the whole of >Nottinghamshire.
In neighbouring Lincolnshire, routine operations at the Diana, Princess
of Wales hospital in Grimsby were cancelled, with Northern Lincolnshire
and Goole NHS Trust saying there had been a significant increase in
people attending A&E.
Royal Liverpool hospital said it had very limited space in emergency >departments and St Georges hospital in London asked people to go to A&E
only in serious situations.

Boyle, who takes up his position this week, said the first
sticking-plaster should be applied to social care. We need to use what
beds we have as efficiently as possible. That means sorting out social
care, so people arent kept in hospital waiting to leave.
The spectre of a twindemic of flu and Covid means that winter could
become very grim, he said like two playground bullies getting
together and forming a gang. Whats happening with urgent and
emergency care, particularly ambulance handovers and long waits in
emergency departments this needs to become a political priority. We
need leadership and we need grip and investment.
Last week, research by the Nuffield Trust revealed that record numbers
of nurses were quitting the NHS, with one in nine leaving their jobs.
Pat Cullen, the general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said
that an increase in Covid infections and hospitalisations should be a
cause for concern, and called for nurses to get access to the highest >quality PPE.
As we head into winter it is important that healthcare leaders remain >vigilant and stand ready to act to prevent any further spread of the
virus. We all saw what happened last winter and nobody wants to take a >backwards step.
Saffron Cordery, interim chief executive of NHS Providers, said trusts
had become more adept at dealing with Covid by, for example, setting up
hot and cold sites.
But we need to be clear that were back at levels with the R rate over
one in lots of places. We need to think about the impact not just on
patients but also on staff, and what it means for them to be going
through this yet again. With a twindemic this winter, were going to see
a spike in demand and more staff are going to be absent.
She said Thrse Coffey, the health secretary, should be focusing on >vaccinations and supporting the NHS workforce.
Dr Veena Raleigh, senior fellow, The Kings Fund said Covid was the
sixth leading cause of death, with more than 300 people dying each week.

[That is] a stark reminder that this virus remains a threat for the >foreseeable future, she said. Although it is early days, this rise in

People at higher risk of Covid should get vaccinated as soon as
possible, Raleigh said. This is especially important for people from >deprived and ethnic minority communities, given the disproportionately

deaths. Theres a real risk that the toll of excess deaths could mount.

asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
