Annual Scientific Conference 2014



Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee it is my great pleasure to invite you to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine’s 2014 Annual Scientific Conference to be held within the historic cathedral city of Exeter. 

The central theme is “Achieving Clinical Excellence” focussing on core aspects of Emergency Medicine and the delivery of a high quality service from a clinical and managerial perspective in the face of today’s challenges. The programme will combine both cutting edge shop floor science and current political debate and discussion; drawing together some of the best speakers regionally, nationally and internationally.

The University of Exeter has, in recent years, been subject to a £48 million facelift with state-of-the-art facilities that will provide a fitting backdrop for what promises to be a spectacular occasion. Our aim is to simultaneously deliver high quality education, information and entertainment and see this as an excellent opportunity to showcase Emergency Medicine as a specialty, the South West region and the city of Exeter.

The academic content will be balanced with a social programme that will include the traditional opening evening drinks reception, a black tie joint CEM/APEM gala dinner at Exeter Castle and an opportunity to enjoy the delights of Devon outdoor pursuits such as mountain biking, kayaking, sea swimming and surfing in a ‘recreational’ afternoon.

As always, the autumn conference will include a full APEM programme including original research. 

Your participation is key in submission of abstracts (deadline for submission 17 May 2014) and participation in discussion, sharing and collaboration. 

I am grateful to all our industry sponsors for their continued support which enables us to organise and deliver this exciting conference.

I and my fellow members of the Local Organising Committee look forward to welcoming you to RCEM 2014 and extend the warmth of Devon hospitality.

Yours sincerely,

Adam Reuben 
Chair, Local Organising Committee
