A special bonus podcast this time, on the perennial issue of crowding. Rick and Sarah are joined by Royal College of Emergency Medicine president Dr. Adrian Boyle, and EMJ's editor-in-chief Prof. Ellen Weber. They address recent evidence for crowding's harmful impact, the arm-twisting needed to shape policy, how it shapes patient confidence, and what the future of crowding looks like.   Links: Association between delays to patient admission from the emergency department and all-cause 30-day mortality Being a patient in a crowded emergency department: a qualitative service evaluation   The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Dr. Richard Body, EMJ Deputy Editor, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Social Media Editor, Leicester Royal Infirmary, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.
