I was placed on a Section 2 for assesment (Mental Health Act) (upto 28 days in a mental health hospital) for my own protection. Spent 22/28 days waiting for a bed at @EastCheshireNHS #MacclesfieldHospital. #NHS #BedCrisis MDG Hospital was amazing, did alot to keep me safe.

I then spent 6 days at the Hartington Unit at @royalhospital Chesterfield and placed on a Section 3 for Treatment (upto 6 months in hospital). That lasted 2 days and I got discharged. The lead psychologist & leadership team likes to put money first over patients lives.

@mla_sudhakar says over 70% beds not utilised yet
@Sowmyareddyr relates a bed hunt that went for hours
We read about HCW shortage/morale down
We hear doctors in line of duty struggling to find beds for themselves

1. Say all is well and the problem 'goes away'
2. Accept there is a problem - first step towards solving one
Shall we for a moment set the first one aside?

3/n Bed maths
Bed = not cot+bedding+Monitor+/-Vent
Bed = All above + manpower
10 vent ICU beds = 3 nurses + 1 doctor /shift (least) = 15 nurses + 4-5 drs on roster
1000 such = 1500 -2K nurses and 500-600drs on the floor
+ All support staff (Housekeeping, lab, pharmacy....)
