Keep up with the latest from EMCEF:
13 October, 2021: EMCEF will not be back in November either
Our next event - EMCEF 40 - will not take place on 3 November after all. The reason for this is because the host Trust for the event has not yet removed the restriction on numbers attending and the limit is currently set at 50, which is insufficient for our larger audience. In order to not mess people around, we'll try to be more certain before publishing the date in future, but here are the options we will be looking at in 2022 (for the diary):

28 July, 2021: EMCEF will be back in November, not September
Our next event - EMCEF 40 - will now be on 3 November. The reason for this is because the host Trust for the event has not yet removed the restriction on numbers attending and the limit is currently set at 50, which is insufficient for our larger audience.
28 February, 2021: EMCEF should be back in September
The date for our next event - EMCEF 40 - has just been set for 8 September. We have also set up three additional dates between this date and the end of 2021. The plan is to make use of only 2-3 out of these 4 dates, depending on how things pan out with the pandemic and with the EMMA launch. More information to follow.
30 January, 2021: Announcing EMMA
Autumn, 2021 will see the founding of EMMA - the Emergency Medicine Midlands Academy - supporting our region's development of the speciality.
1 January, 2021: EMCEF's return continues to be delayed
The date for our next event - EMCEF 40 - has not yet been finalised. We are hoping to avoid fixing a date we then have to cancel. The CoronaVirus pandemic is on-going with restrictions on academic venues and events.
12 July, 2020: EMCEF's return is delayed further
Just like June's EMCEF 38, September's EMCEF 39 has also been cancelled.
Because of the CoronaVirus pandemic and on-going restrictions placed on academic venues and events, it is not yet possible to properly set up an event. Further updates will follow in due course.

22 March, 2020: EMCEF will not resume before the next academic year
June's EMCEF 38 will not take place.
Because of the CoronaVirus pandemic, it will not be possible for conferences to take place for some months and certainly not before September, 2020.

19 September, 2019: EMCEF 35 feedback database now open
Somewhat delayed, but here it is. Please aim to return your feedback soon, so that it may be included in the statistics. The database will reply with a CPD certification e-mail (with receipt included, if applicable). Feedback returned late leads to a lot of additional work for me and will not be included in the statistics sent to lecturers for their own portfolios.
27 July, 2019: EMCEF 35 is now open for registration
The brochure for EMCEF 35 will be finalised soon, but the current version is already available. This event will mark our 10th anniversary, virtually to the day.

9 June, 2018: EMCEF 30 feedback database closing soon
|
As feedback is returned for EMCEF 30, I take this opportunity to remind all of the winning team from the quiz - Worcester - here photographed as their score was being announced.
A couple of teams have already been proposed for the next quiz, but this will not be taking place any time soon. Certainly not in 2018. Still, nominations will be accepted for further teams. |

17 April, 2018: 7 CPD credits now approved for EMCEF 30 by EMCEF100
CPD accreditation has now been secured through EMCEF100. We also have a 3rd team nearly confirmed and places are filling up as more people return from leave and submit their registration details.
13 April, 2018: Two quiz teams for EMCEF 30
Registration for EMCEF 30 continues rather slowly, but it's already half full. As for the quiz, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that we already have two out of the four teams nominated. The bad news is that both are from outside the West Midlands region! This is a surprise to me and, I expect, will surprise most people. Still, a number of West Midlands people have indicated that they are working on setting up teams from their own departments. There are also two further potential teams from outside the region - if they register first and complete the list of four teams, then that will be that and the West Midlands region will not be represented on the quiz...
