Training in Emergency Medicineicemt_logo_final_7-11

Emergency Medicine is a field of practice based on the knowledge and skills required for the prevention, diagnosis and management of acute and urgent aspects of illness and injury affecting patients of all age groups with a full spectrum of undifferentiated physical and behavioural disorders (International Federation of Emergency Medicine). It further encompasses an understanding of the development of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency medical systems and the skills necessary for this development.

The most recent edition of the Guide to Emergency Medicine Training in Ireland (5th Edition) was published in October 2011.

 

As part of the new Medical Council obligations, all doctors not on recognised Training Schemes must be part of a recognised Professional Competence Scheme. Click for details of the PCS for Emergency Medicine.
