Acute Care Fellow: a brief introduction
Chris Roseveare has kindly invited me to introduce myself through this ‘Guest Editorial’ page of Acute Medicine. I was appointed to the new post of Acute Care Fellow at the Royal College of Physicians of London in July of this year. This is a new post, created by the College in recognition of the immense pressures currently being experienced by acute medical services. The remit includes identifying the difficulties faced by physicians in delivering high quality care and seeking out and sharing examples of good practice. I will chair the new acute medical care committee at the College which will have wide representation from all medical specialties involved in the provision of acute medical care. Acute medical units are the hub of the acute medical take and acute medicine will be well represented on the new committee with SAM consultant, trainee and nursing representatives.
