Based at the University Hospitals of Leicester, we serve the educational needs of healthcare practitioners in Acute & Emergency Medicine across the East Midlands, UK
About Us
East Midlands Emergency Medicine Educational Media (aka #EM3) is a group leading multi-professional education at the Leicester Royal Infirmary Emergency Department.
““Nationally, all Emergency Departments are facing similar difficulties…””
It was created in response to poor GMC and Health Education East Midlands (HEEM) reports in 2012 and initially consisted of a funded Post Graduate Education Lead, Administrator, Clinical Teachers and Education OOPEs who implemented educational programmes including:
Mapped out bespoke teaching packages to curricula
A 2-day induction programme
Facilitated case based discussion clinics and protected shop floor teaching
These face-to-face initiatives have been supported by the #EM3 website. This learner led approach to education encouraged individual goal setting and sharing of knowledge.
#EM3 is open access so all trainees, in and outside of the East Midlands, can benefit. It is one of the few Free Open Access Medical Education (#FOAMed) learning platforms in the UK that links curricula to teaching.
