The emergency medicine community is growing now and each day the number of members of PSEM are increasing. Being a young faculty, with the very important scope of work, it needs to have effective ways of communication. This also includes educating our colleagues, and also the community at-large which we all serve. As we do understand an educated patient about his or her sickness is one great help for us while treating that patient. Thinking about all that the EM community decided to start their own newsletter.
The newsletter is a common thread amongst all the emergency physicians and nurses to come on the same page through communication. Whether it be solution to a clinical problem, or something non-clinical making the treatment of the patient a bit easy. The newsletter also would bring people together to do some research as well as a combined audit regarding different aspects of emergency care with some local modifications, and see its efficacy through a collaborative work.
The Pakistan society of emergency medicine is doing a great service to the physicians and nurses working in the emergency department, as well as the people coming to get treatment from the emergency department by enhancing the level of understanding of treating physicians as well as the nursing staff, and paramedics, and the patients at-large so the experience of the patients can be better through the collaborative care.
This newsletter would be a quarterly issue and would include different articles and pieces of write up by all the doctors and nurses and paramedics nationally as well as internationally. It is designed to involve the people working in emergency departments across Pakistan to discuss things that matters to them, the most, including, but not limited to the triaging, the treatment of sepsis, trauma care, Cardiovascular care, and even the psychiatric care. In short all specialities would be part of the scope yet we will be more concerned about the emergency care rather than on-going continuous treatment.
Through the collaborative work, this newsletter will also stimulate people who are working in the emergency department but are not trained in Emergency Medicine. The people working in the Emergency Departments across Pakistan but as non-trainees are equally important as they also need to know what is going on in Pakistan as well as internationally and this newsletter will serve the purpose of updating their knowledge and understanding. I really appreciate the efforts of Pakistan society of emergency medicine, and the people who are bringing this newsletter together in Pakistan.
This newsletter requires the blessings of all and input from all that can positively contribute.
