EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE AGAINST HEALTH EMERGENCIES.
A report of a patient with suspected Ebola waiting 18 hours in a hospital casualty area raises questions that go far beyond waiting times.
Emergency departments are essential health security infrastructure. We must design, equip, staff and support them accordingly.

🩸 A nosebleed. Simple enough… until it isn’t.
Epistaxis may be common, but when the bleeding won’t stop, knowing what to do next matters.
Join us for Casualty Live! Episode 8: A Nose for Trouble, as we break down a practical ED approach to epistaxis with an ENT surgeon.
From assessment and haemorrhage control to cautery and packing, we’ll explore how to recognise red flags, manage difficult bleeds, avoid common ED pitfalls, apply the latest evidence, and know when to admit or escalate the nosebleed that just won’t behave.
🐍 What’s the first thing you would do after a snakebite? If your answer is “suck out the venom,” read this first.
When someone is bitten by a snake, panic can make it tempting to suck out the venom, cut the wound, or reach for familiar traditional remedies.
But some of these common practices can cause more harm and delay the right treatment.
Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing the correct first aid steps.
