Welcome to the Edinburgh & Lothians Emergency Medicine Website.
We deliver our service across three departments in NHS Lothian to approximately 200,000 patients a year. We believe in clinical excellence, provided within a strong multidisciplinary team ethos and with patient care at its centre.
We are continually attempting to improve both our patients’ experience and that of our staff, and are constantly innovating with new methods, processes, and training.
Research
The Emergency Department (ED) at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh is committed to providing highest quality evidence-based care to all patients attending the department. With this aim, research activity (along with audit) is seen as integral to improving patient care, either directly when comparing treatments or indirectly when evaluating working processes.
At any one time, there will be several projects actively recruiting participants, ranging from grant funded large multicentre randomised trials to smaller observational studies undertaken as part of trainee development.
Training
The South East Scotland Emergency Medicine training scheme offers unmatched potential to successful applicants.
It allows placement in the largest Emergency Department in Scotland (RIE) with very high levels of activity, delivery of large numbers of advanced procedures (rapid sequence inductions, procedural sedations), and training in pre-hospital care, as well rotation to a variety of District General Hospitals, and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
