Global health and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine: a cross-sectional survey of members and fellows

There is growing interest in global health participation among emergency care doctors in the UK. The GEM Committee undertook a survey of members and fellows of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine involved in global health to gain a better understanding of their interests, the work they are involved in, as well as the benefits and barriers of this work. A paper was published in the EMJ on the findings of this research and can be found below.
