Going Global - Explore how global health experience can benefit you.
The Tropical Health Education Trust (THET) and Health Education England developed a series of webinars aimed at people working in the NHS who are looking to get more involved in global health activities.
The series provides an opportunity to learn from and engage with experienced colleagues in the field through a mixture of workshops, presentations and interactive sessions.
The Global Emergency Care Collaborative (GECCo) is a multi-disciplinary collaboration of professionals in emergency care with a shared interest in global health.
If you deliver emergency care and you care about global health, this space is for you. GECCo seek to bring people and opportunities together by building a network of like-minded colleagues. This is your collaborative: it listens to you, grows because of you, and changes to reflect your interests.

A practical guide for supervision of a GEM Fellowship program within a UK Emergency Department been produced by the GEM Committee and can be downloaded below.
Increasing numbers of UK ED are offering fellowships in Global EM (GEM). These positions are being taken by doctors across various grades including junior positions after foundation year 2 (FY2) training, intermediate specialist training (ACCS level), more senior ST4 and post CCT fellowships. So far, there has not been a standardised framework for these posts.
The aim of this GEM fellowship guide is to provide a suggested practical framework for organising a GEM Clinical Fellowship programme within a UK Emergency Department.
