Interesting point on major incident drills made by Gregory Ciottone - the least useful place to rehearse surge capacity is the ED; it's our core business. It's the rest of the system that needs the drill in order to increase our preparedness. #WADEM2023

We are the clinicians who will have to respond to these new challenges - and it's our responsibility to ask ourselves "what will we do *when* this happens?" #WADEM2023

Opening keynote at #WADEM2023 (which has had an unprecedented 4yr hiatus due to pandemic and world events) from Gregory Ciottone reminds us that we are living in unprecedented times. Things - and particularly the climate - are changing. @WADEM_PDM

Just because something is stated loudly, confidently or explicitly does not make it true. Uncertainty does not equate with failure. We must disabuse the notion of binary "knowing" or "not knowing" [Ronan Glynn] #WADEM2023 (this has been a challenge in EM for decades)

Now onto our third question about psychological welfare of responders after events - hope #WADEM2023 is getting the message that this is HUGELY IMPORTANT and a priority (and in answer to “should we go to therapy”; YES)

Great response to this from Saleh Fares Al-Ali - we need to move into the future through integration and teamwork (disaster management and disaster medicine hand-in-hand) [Though I wonder how we can do this when we still use fax machines and pagers in 2023...] #WADEM2023

Great point by @ronan_glynn - medical school does not prepare us to deal with uncertainty. (Applicable across the breadth of medicine - something we need to reconsider in undergraduate teaching?) #WADEM2023

A real and current challenge for healthcare - social media has increased the influence of informal, decentralised community and networks in spreading mis and disinformation - a real public health challenge [Ronan Glynn] #WADEM2023

We must be focused on greater engagement with digital health. The inefficient disconnected use of data has been a particular challenge of the COVID19 pandemic. [Ronan Glynn] #WADEM2023

The principle that people are entitled to access their own health data requires robust, modern, secure infrastructure. However, many people lack the basic resources required to access digital healthcare; and all the usual socioeconomic challenges apply [Ronan Glynn] #WADEM2023

Lots of chat this morning at #WADEM2023 about the challenges of vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic. I found this a very insightful podcast - recommended #humanfactors https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/we-were-three/id1648534112

We should be teaching critical thinking even before medical school - @ronan_glynn (most of the audience seemingly in agreement with his experience of little or no exposure to public health as a specialty at med school) #WADEM2023

"Where is the high income health system going?" asks @drmickmolloy, noting that hospitals being over capacity is the new normal globally - "what do you do when there's no place to go?" #WADEM2023 [Don't hold your breath for a definitive answer to this in this thread...!]
