The editorial by Dowdle sets the theme for this edition. Acute medicine is an emerging new specialism in the UK, aimed at bridging the gap between the emergency department and the specialist inpatient teams. There is a great deal of overlap between emergency medicine and acute medicine and close, cooperative working is essential. Emergency physicians with dual training in emergency medicine and general internal medicine are being appointed to assist in this cooperation and improve patient care. There is a pressing need to ensure that training opportunities are available for emergency medicine trainees wishing to develop a special interest in acute medicine. The door seems to be opening, but perhaps we need to push a bit harder. Equally acute medicine trainees will benefit greatly from experience in emergency medicine and this is already planned in some acute medicine training rotations.
