Campaigns for Health Policy

Campaigns for Health Policy

We shape health policy by campaigning for change and working collaboratively with key stakeholders. We ensure Emergency Medicine delivers a high-quality patient centred care for all by:

• Putting our members at the heart of our policy and research work
• Ensuring we represent the full diversity of the specialty
• Campaigning on issues matter to our members the most
• Working with Governments, NHS, and key policymakers and stakeholders
