The Royal College of Emergency Medicine has a dedicated communications team.
If you are a member of the media and you would like more information about the College and its work, or you would like to make a request to speak to one of our spokespeople, please contact the team via communications@rcem.ac.uk
We kindly ask you do not contact our spokespeople directly as they are all busy working Emergency Medicine clinicians and may not be in a position to respond.
Please contact the communications team and we will respond to you as soon as possible.
The communications team’s office hours are 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday. But we are also contactable outside of these time for urgent media enquiries.
If you do want to contact us out of hours, please use the same email – communications@rcem.ac.uk – which is monitored closely by the communications team member on call, and we will respond promptly.
