Great to see so many colleagues I have been fortunate to work with, teach with and enjoy some social downtime over the years @TeamKingsED @KingsCollegeNHS @RCEMpresident @RCEMevents @NMTNGUK

RCEM President Higgi wishes our Hindu and Sikh colleagues 🪔 happy Diwali & 🛕 Bandi Chhor Divas! We hope you have great festivals and your Emergency Department teams come together for the celebrations 💜

Got my flu jab. Not eligible for COVID vaccine. Have had my pertussis immunity boosted and have had my measles immunity checked because I work a lot with children. Good to go. See occ health if unsure. Immunisation protects us, our families, and our patients. @RCollEM @UHP_NHS

"I know many of my colleagues are dreading what winter will bring for us and for our patients" @RCEMpresident Dr Ian Higginson responds to the latest Emergency Department performance data from @NHSEngland for September. It revealed 133,682 people waited 12 hours or more in

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Dr Gill Park, Consultant in EM at Northwick Park Hospital. She was genuinely loved by her colleagues, made an enormous contribution to our specialty both nationally and internationally, was honoured by RCEM, and will be deeply missed.

I’m biased as a member of @BASICSdevon but this video illustrates the work of volunteer schemes around the country, and the impact they can have on individual lives. They are all charities working with local ambulance services. @BASICS_HQ @ParamedicsUK @AACE_org

It’s #SASWeek25! A week we celebrate our amazing SAS doctors and their vital work in Emergency Medicine. Thank you for all you do for the specialty and for our patients. To open the week, our EMSAS Chair, Dr Jocelyn Brittliff, shares a message to our SAS doctors in the video

Our VP @JamesGagg is representing the College at #CPC25 in Manchester. Today he met with a number of MPs interested in health policy and Emergency Care including @JoePJRobertson - who sits on the @CommonsHealth select committee – raising concerns about winter pressures, corridor

Congratulations from all at RCEM 🎉 Royally deserved!

Kicking off day three at the Labour Party Conference with our Vice President @RCEMvp_Salwa representing our members, their colleagues and their patients at a roundtable hosted by @TheBMA. Up next: meetings with MPs to discuss the dire state of emergency care.

There’s already a permacrisis in Emergency Departments and not just in winter. I’m concerned that it will remain like this without substantive action directed at the core problem: full hospitals leading to full EDs, with the misery and harm that results.

RCEM was in the room for the @NHSConfed event at the Labour Party Conference titled ‘Health & Growth: Making Prevention a Mission-Led Policy’. Our Policy Officer, Thomas Boothman, stated to the panel that while prevention is important, the number of patients waiting 12 hours or

Well done Ben Clarke presenting the UNCORKED study at #eusem2025 for @ternfellow. Science providing more data around the appalling ED crowding in the UK, and the need to focus efforts on patients needing admission, not demand management as favoured by policy makers. @RCollEM

EUSEM brings EM clinicians together. We are stronger for it. EM is evolving throughout Europe, at different stages of devt in different countries. Representing RCEM but also part of the LeadEM course faculty. The challenges are remarkably similar wherever we work #EUSEM2025

Lucky me getting to spend an evening with three legends of EM: Katherine Henderson, Ruth Brown, and Lisa Kurland. All of us started in different specialities before we came to EM. None of us have regretted the career decision we took

What lessons have you learnt in the ED as a Black medic? Have you overcome a situation that has stayed with you? Have you challenged your trust to be more inclusive? We want to hear your story for Black History Month 2025. Share your story with us by completing this form:

“Behind this statistic are stories of heartbreak. Because these are people. Mums, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents - their deaths shattering the lives of families and friends.” @RCollEM @RCEMpresident @BMAScotland https://t.co/6q2z9qwiOw

Healthcare leaders, EM staff and politicians from across the political spectrum have gathered for the event, which has kicked off with an introduction from @VP_Scot_RCEM Dr Fiona Hunter.

Took a random way around to get to where we needed and met the man himself @EdwardJDavey ! @RCollEM is spending the day talking to LibDem MPs about EM workforce, corridor care and solutions, 12hr standard and bed occupancy rates (where's the detail NHSE?).

Particular feel to an early critical care start. Also very systematic: Aircraft/kit checks, briefing, emergency of the day, SIM, then coffee together if not tasked. Car online 0700, aircraft 0730. Same every day. Lots to bring into EM practice. Including the coffee.
