Communication Activities
We intend to organise a conference discussing healthcare workforce shortages in Emergency medicine. Following a publication of an internal report, we understand that if we do not address the shortage of Emergency medicine workforce now, it will be detrimental to the healthcare system. We already understand that primary care is operating inefficiently putting pressure on Emergency departments as patients are referred to Emergency departments with non emergency issues. Through our national societies we know that is an issue across Europe. We would like to organise a conference with our 38 National societies to discuss this report and provide recommendations for the EU health workforce crisis plan.
