Emergency Medicine Day

This year the Emergency Medicine Day campaign is dedicated to safety. Safety for our patients, who need care, attention and relief from pain and disease. Safety for our colleagues, who need to be able to work in a secure environment, for the right number of hours with the right number of patients in order to be able to give them the right amount of our time and energy.
Only in these conditions are we sure to provide the patient with a safe haven in an emergency

It is time for action

We are asking to fill in this survey, whether you are an EM professional, a patient organisation or a patient, and let us know about your experience in the hospital emergency department. With the collected data we will address the managers and administrators to change their policies.

EM-Day Policy statement about working safely in the ED is published!

The EM-Day taskforce has written a policy statement about minimal standards for safe working conditions in Emergency Medicine. It is published in the European Journal for Emergency Medicine. Share it as much as you can so it will be noticed by our policy makers!
