Each summer, the College invites proposals for those wanting to hold a study day with us the following year.
A study day is a one day event which covers a particular topic of importance for the EM workforce. The College runs approximately 40 study days per year covering a broad range of topics, both clinical and non-clinical. Study days can be put forward by any EM clinician, whether they have events experience or not. The RCEM events team will be on hand throughout the process to support you and make the process as smooth as possible.
To propose a study day, you need to complete the study day proposal form (see button links below) and submit it by Wednesday 17 July 2024.
The proposal forms will then be reviewed, and you will be informed whether your proposal has been approved at the end of August.
This is your opportunity to get involved with delivering high quality CPD and education to your emergency medicine community. If you have a topic you’re passionate about, want to share your expertise with peers or know engaging, interesting and exciting speakers who can inspire and educate others then we want to hear from you!
For more information about how to apply and what we’re looking for, have a look at the guidance and assistance section below.

Study day proposals are reviewed by the Chair of the RCEM Education Resources Committee as well as the ACP Forum, EMSAS and EMTA representatives of that committee.
They will be reviewed in line with the following criteria:
Each of these criteria will be marked out of five, with one being poor and five being excellent. An average score will then be taken from all reviewers and the events will be ranked from highest to lowest scoring. The reviewers will then meet to discuss each proposal in turn before making a final decision on whether to run the event.
More information about the review criteria and the information needed on the form can be found in the proposal guidance.
