Global Emergency Medicine is about the intersection between any area of emergency care, and global health. By global health, we mean contexts of access- or resource- limited healthcare. While global health normally implies healthcare delivery in  low or middle income countries (LMIC), inequity happens in high income countries too, for example, among marginalised populations. Global Emergency Medicine is about working for justice and excellence in emergency healthcare, globally!

The Global Emergency Medicine pre-course will be delivered in two parts: a series of short virtual lectures delivered a few weeks before the conference, and an afternoon’s in-person workshop at VIECON, Vienna, on Saturday 27^th September, 1400-1800CEST.

The virtual lectures will cover a wide range of global EM topics including: overview of the need for EM in LMIC, capacity building, EM education and training in LMIC, Global EM fellowships, research, quality and safety, clinical hot topics, networks and resources, ‘what to do before you go’.

The in-person workshop will comprise a round-robin of four workstations focussing on themes drawn out in the lectures, utilising hands-on practical exercises and interactive discussion. These stations include: ED design and triage in an LMIC, strategic planning exercise, clinical care with limited resources, EM education and training in LMIC.

• To encourage and equip delegates to see why EM is important in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC)
• To see how they might be able to get involved in global EM
• To appreciate the challenges involved in clinical care, systems development, research and education
• To give them some of the tools and skills that could be most useful.

The workshop is primarily aimed at residents and other doctors who are interested in working in global emergency medicine but who haven’t yet had much experience. Students are very welcome.
