As all aspects of emergency healthcare delivery face extreme pressure, the resilience of our frontline workforce has been stretched to the limit. EMF has responded by prioritising our resources toward reinvigorating emergency medicine research. This work is ongoing - we look forward to sharing more news in 2022.
Hot off the press! The EMF Annual Report is now online featuring a few examples of why our collective efforts to support research must and will continue. This includes:
▪ Emergency healthcare in remote communities and police watch house environments
▪ End-of-life care in the emergency department - and the patient that inspired this research
▪ How research is changing pre-hospital care for trauma patients, and more.
