The Emergency Medicine Journal is a peer-reviewed medical journal. It is the official journal of the College of Emergency Medicine (formerly of the British Association for Emergency Medicine), as well as the British Association for Immediate Care and the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. It is focused on developments in the field of emergency medicine and critical care in both the hospital and pre-hospital environments, publishing original research, case reports, review articles, letters, and best evidence topic reports ("Best BETs"). It is published monthly, with supplements covering the College of Emergency Medicine conferences.
The journal was established in March 1984 under the title Archives of Emergency Medicine, and was renamed Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine in 1994, before getting its current title in March 2000.
Famous quotes containing the words emergency, medicine and/or journal:
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“He said that private practice in medicine ought to be put down by law. When I asked him why, he said that private doctors were ignorant licensed murders.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
