Is community emergency medicine cost effective? In Bristol when you match those seen by a CEMS versus those seen directly in ED the costings work out as >£1,000,000 saved in bed days. #CEMCon25

Funding Community Emergency Medicine (CEM) presents a challenge. While there are key performance indicators, few reflect the patient-centred approach and tackling health inequity, making it difficult to justify to those with the purse strings. #CEMCon25

Some key stats for frail patients: when advised they do not need hospital, there was a 17% mortality for those who remained at home and 47% for those who elected to attend hospital anyway. Community based care key for frailty @IofPHC #CEMCon25

Our team on the road is a collaboration between a senior EM doctor and a pre-hospital clinician from the ambulance service, often alongside a senior EM nurse. We are also helped by a CEM consultant accessible via phone for advice and a management team at base for ops support.

Part of community emergency medicine is working out which groups of patients we can make a particular difference in. We think cancer patients at risk of neutropenia are a cohort where we can change the trajectory of emergency care.
