What do RCEM committees do? Introducing the RCEM PHEM Professional Advisory Group

Jan 2021 – RCEM as an organisation has a challenging job making sure that we keep up with the breadth of activity within our speciality, so that our function as a College can be fulfilled. We have some 52 committees, all of which undertake valuable work. This service is undertaken by professional and lay members, unpaid and often unrecognised, supported by our College staff.

Resilience and EM: Does resilience arise from adversity?

Guest blog, December 2020 – Recently I climbed Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. This was my first ever climb to the summit which is 1085 metres high. I had no clue of the tough terrain when I geared up in excitement. It was an absolute adventure for a novice like me scaling on the steep rugged Pyg track, in adverse conditions with blustery weather, pouring rain and poor visibility.

Mental Health in EDs

10 October 2017 – Today is World Mental Health Day so RCEM has chosen Mental Health as the theme of day two of our jubilee celebration week.

Those of us working in Emergency Medicine are all too familiar with the effects that poor mental health have on our patients.
