Regretfully we have made the decision to cancel this years #theEMEC. Given the current situation it is the sensible option. Anyone who has bought a ticket will be refunded in full. And we will return in 2021. Any q’s or problems let us know via twitter. Pls share.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the experience ‘junior’ clinicians get working the ED. Specifically equity of allocations to areas like resus. @carrings and I have cooked up an idea but I’m curious how other departments ensure everyone gets fair exposure (if indeed anyone does).

Votes are in and 75% want to tackle current problems (with a little inspiration thrown in).

What current problems do you have that we can help with?

[The EMEC @the_emec]

@SuzanneOwensACP Thank you Suzanne.

I’ve been thinking about EMEC 2022. I want to do a face to face event but without presentations. Instead sharing experiences from last 2 years and community building. Oh and EDUWARS. What are your thoughts?

[The EMEC @the_emec]

Want to run EMEC 2022 but trying to find inspiration. Would you like a day of sharing MedEd & pastoral successes during COVID or are there now problems that you would like help addressing such as moral injury etc?

[PEMinfographics @PEMinfographics]

Delighted to bring you our first #inforgraphic from @SashaGiffordMD looking at the effect of screen time on recovery from concussion.

@Damian_Roland If I could rephrase the question then. “Here’s what other people have achieved over the last 2 years” or “Here are some solutions to problems you are currently having”. Which would be preferred?

@Damian_Roland Equally love that you included the tagline for The EMEC of “inspiration for education”. Intentional or otherwise, hats off to you.

[The EMEC @the_emec]

@Damian_Roland We could definitely do an uplifting and inspirational “check out all the amazing things we’ve achieved” day or are there now new/exacerbated problems that the collective EMEC community wisdom can help with?

[The EMEC @the_emec]

@Damian_Roland You’re right. I’ve run around in circles with this question for for the last 2 months so needed lots more brains on it. I know that my past and current experience may have been different and we may all be in a different place now so how can we do the most good with a conference?

[The EMEC @the_emec]

Please share and retweet. Would love to get as many of your brains on this as possible.

[The EMEC @the_emec]

Great work @ianlewins and team

Hey. Wanting to start reconnecting with you lovely #MedEd people. Would love to have a zoom/phone chat to understand what #MedEd challenges you’re having and to see how I can help going forward. DMs open or just reply. @the_emec

[The EMEC @the_emec]

@SteJCB @jmesillett Depends on the conference 😉
