One solution is for the UK Government to open enough staffed beds so that hospitals run at no more than 85% occupancy. This will ensure that there is enough capacity for patients to flow throughout the hospital system, reducing the strain on our patients and healthcare system.

"If we haven’t got the beds & staff to deal with the demand we face, and the ability to care for our patients in our departments rather than in corridors, or tents and ambulances in the carparks, then all we will be doing is predicting our failure with greater clarity.” @RCEM_VP
