I have been waiting thirty years for this concept to be treated in
the scientific literature. When I started practice in 1983 in a busy urban
academic Emergency Department in Baltimore, Maryland, and for the next
twenty-five years, THIS was the main driver of my practice style. It was
very rewarding and I am thrilled to see it championed so.

There are obvious benefits of increasing the number of trained professionals able to provide pre-hospital care it is important that all medical graduates have knowledge of twenty first century management of emergencies in the pre-hospital situation. However in this area of medicine, where any medical practitioner can unexpectedly be required to help, it is important to ensure all medical graduates have knowledge of what interventions should not be undertaken as well as these that should be undertaken.
With a new GMC recognised sub-speciality of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine it is timely that the teaching of undergraduate of pre-hospital emergency medicine is standardised within the undergraduate curriculum.
Yours sincerely
Dr Colville Laird,
Chairman of The Faculty of Pre-hospital Care RCSEd
