The Position Statements examiners quietly love
RCEM Position Statements are short, opinionated documents on the things ED clinicians have to deal with but rarely revise for — workforce, corridor care, dignity, advocacy, safety culture, deteriorating systems. Examiners use them as the basis for the kind of "what should you do next" ethics and systems SBAs that catch candidates out.
This ebook pulls them together in one place and frames each one for the exam.
What's inside
- 7 RCEM Position Statements distilled for SBA yield

Workforce and safe staffing · Corridor and crowded ED care · Patient dignity · Clinician advocacy · Safety culture · Equality, diversity and inclusion in the ED · Wellbeing and burnout.
Who it's for
EM trainees sitting the FRCEM Final SBA, MRCEM SBA candidates, and any ED clinician who wants the College's positions on the systems issues that increasingly feature in the exam.
