People in deprived areas are:
- less likely to receive bystander CPR,
- less likely to access a defib,
- and less likely to survive cardiac arrest.
This isn’t chance, it’s inequality.
We’re committed to changing this, because where you live or what your background is should not determine your survival.
Key output from my PhD fellowship has been published in Resuscitation
TLDR:
🚨 Prehospital critical care teams were less likely to attend cardiac arrest patients in more deprived neighbourhoods.
🚨 No association with neighbourhood ethnicity

Great to see this in print and while this isn’t the end of the story it does show the impact that social support in the ED can make.
“All’s he ever done was kept his word to me. That’s all it took, was somebody actually keeping your word, believe in you.” Nav patient
Finally in print at the European Journal of Emergency Medicine. Social support from the ED, and changes in healthcare use.

The 4th meeting of @EMAtTheDeepEnd starts with a view from the @SimonCommScot, poorer health outcomes for refugee and migrants, poorer access to care, and a real need to support engagement from EDs to community services.
A week to go until the next meeting of @EMAtTheDeepEnd. Looking forward to hearing from a range of perspectives, and the usual robust discussion, on a key issue in emergency care.
We're pleased to share an invite to the next meeting of @EMAtTheDeepEnd - focussing on refugee and migrant health in the ED. We have a great range of speakers lined up, with a diversity of experience across emergency care.

With @TheDrMagazine, we've spoken about the impact of the social determinants of health in emergency care, and a path to positive change.
Not about fixing all the flaws of society, but recognising this is core to Emergency Medicine, and advocating for change.
