PEML 2019 Headlines
- Trends in Emergency Medical Care and Emergency Medicine in the 21st. Century
- How to Establish Effective and Save Emergency Medical Care System in Eastern Europe?
- Make Emergency Medicine in Eastern European Countries Great!
When we organized an international educational event for young physicians and paramedics in Prague in 2002, we did not know, that even in the year 2019, there would be no real functioning modern Emergency Medicine (pohotovostní medicína in Czech) in our country. We lived in an illusion that there would have been soon after the event firmly established modern Emergency Medicine matched by the truly modern organizational trends, how to provide up-to-date Emergency Medical Care (neodkladná zdravotní péče in Czech).
We also, sadly, did not know, that practically all the countries of our ancient continental Europe (unlike the positive island exceptions - UK, and Ireland), will continue to remain on the obsolete principles of the German-France Way of EM, and Emergency Medical Care. Despite the fact, that the latest World Congress of IFEM (International Federation for Emergency Medicine), held in Mexico City in June 2018, has repeatedly and unequivocally confirmed the viability (and would like to write even the mental superiority) of the English-American Way of EM, and Emergency Medical Care, both in pre-hospital, and early in-hospital stages.
Although I am already 56 years of age (and I have more than 31 years of medical practice), I still do not come out of amazement at how our European Continental medical thinking how on earth it is conservative! Or rather rigid and inflexible. Despite the fact, that our old Europe is one of the real cradles of our present civilization on a planet called Terra. And even though our colleagues Emergency Physicians, Emergency Nurses, and Paramedics in the United Kingdom already in 2017, and the same colleagues in the United States in 2018, proudly celebrated their 50th Anniversary of the official recognition of Emergency Medicine as a core medical specialty.
- PEML 2002. 15 Years After… A Memory Article by Vit Marecek (in Czech)
- PEML 2002 Keynote Lecture by Jim Holliman: What Is Emergency Care?
We were very pleased that the President of the Czech Republic, Mr. Miloš Zeman, kindly complied with our request and took over the Auspices of our international educational conference PEML 2019. (greeting/zdravice)
Our PEML 2019 is an international educational training event focused on our colleagues from all countries of Eastern Europe, including Russia and all post-Soviet republics. We focus on three main groups of our participants:
1st. Residents and Medical Students
2nd. Emergency Nurses and Paramedics
3rd. Health Care Organizers, Managers, and Others.
Me and some of my colleagues from the Czech Group for Academic Emergency Medicine do not fully agree with an European Continental Way of Emergency Medicine (This is not our cup of tea). Our group represents alternative ideas and thinking of the Czech Physicians (and Nurses, and Paramedics), who are interested mainly in academic aspects of Emergency Medicine. Our main goal is to finally establish a real Emergency Medical Care, pre-hospital and in-hospital, and a real Emergency Medicine in our Czech Lands. We want to follow gold and true standards of the world IFEM, not those of continental EUSEM. That is why we have also prepared „The National Emergency Medical Care Programme for the Czech Republic“.
You can see our Programme Schedule, and Alphabetical List of Speakers, too.
See you in Prague soon,

Antoinette Edwards
Antoinette is the Executive Director of the Trauma Audit & Research Network (TARN) and is responsible for the successful operation and continued development of the organisation. Antoinette’s responsibilities include leading in executive policy development, management and pursuit of TARN’s aims and priorities. One of Antoinette’s many interests are the long-term outcomes of injured patients and in 2014, was responsible for establishing the Major Trauma PROMs programme across Major Trauma Centres in England (Patient Reported Outcome Measures).
TARN was established in 1990 to perform the clinical audit and research of the care of injured patients, and it is now the national clinical audit for trauma care across England, Wales and Ireland, and collects data from 100% of all trauma-receiving hospitals. It also collects data from a number of hospitals across other parts of Europe.
The organisation, which is both clinically and academically led, has become the key provider for delivering evidence of quality trauma care for both clinical and commissioning purposes. TARN provide each hospital with case mix adjusted outcome analysis and comparisons of trauma care. The main objective is to facilitate the development and improvement of trauma services thereby reducing the associated burden of death and disability.
With over 800,000 patients on the TARN database, it is the largest European Trauma Registry and so provides a robust platform for trauma research. TARN has a significant research portfolio including a number of international collaborations.
TARN is based at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and has 21 employees. TARN is part of the Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre and the School of Health Sciences at the University of Manchester.
