Emergency care at crisis point
Lorna Rothery spoke to Jim Connolly, President of the European Society for Emergency Medicine about how long-established issues in the health system are being reflected in emergency care, and the bold actions needed to address this.
"Emergency medicine has faced unprecedented challenges over the past few years with ambulance offload delays, treatment delays and staff shortages. Would you say emergency medicine is being suitably prioritised as part of the EU’s public health agenda?"
Good question!!
