Stop what you're doing and go buy a copy of The Cords debut album, chock full of jingly-jangly riffs, soft harmonies, la la las, and enough 80s indie nostalgia to storm to the top of the Festive Fifty.

COME TO OUR CONFERENCE!

Lots of people work on medicines data: researchers; but also "medicines optimisation" teams, using data to directly improve NHS care; and teams who build data tools. These clans rarely meet... Until now! Join us, Dec 10th, in Oxford.

I love this, and I'm thinking of the opportunities it provides to staff, to point at it and say "you are here"

I thought this schematic was very good in A&E reception

A schematic of the journey through Dorset County Hospital A&E whilst the main entrance is ambulance arrivals only.

Ambulance arrival - check in, assessment: handover, treatment: (you will be treated in order of urgency) resuscitation/majors, outcome: (you may have to wait while we process your test results and decide on the best treatment) hospital/short stay units/leave ED.

Walk in arrival - check in, assessment: (you will be seen by a nurse in order of arrival) triage, treatment: (you will be treated in order of urgency) minors/see & treat, outcome: (you may have to wait while we process your test results and decide on the best treatment) hospital/short stay units/leave ED.
