I quite agree with you Jonathon and feel that this
must be a priority.
What is happening centrally about this issue currently
(FAEM/BAEM and the DoH)?
John Black
This is one of the strongest arguments for dropping
the "Accident" as soon as possible. The medical speciality should be called Acute Medicine. Confusion will be endless
if appointments are made to posts in Emergency
Medicine and then we try to change the name of the speciality. Already our speciality in the
The UK Department of Health were interested in
changing the name, but some papers got the idea it was a"spin"
exercise to make people use the departments properly and it seems to have gone
quiet.
Probably time to get the ball rolling again. Thanks for the information, John
Jonathan
