RCEM Best Practice — where the college sets the standard
If NICE guidelines are the what, RCEM Best Practice Guidelines are the how — they tell you how the College expects an ED to behave around trauma, paediatrics, mental health, sedation, frailty and end-of-life care. They show up in SBA stems precisely because they're the College's own published view of good practice.
This ebook condenses 43 RCEM guidelines into focused chapters, written in the same peer-to-peer voice as the rest of EM Final Exams.
