🏆 Award-winning research is helping shine a light on a problem affecting patients across the UK.

At RCEM Annual Conference 2026, Ryan McHenry received the Rod Little Prize for exploring whether people living in more deprived areas are more likely to be redirected away from Emergency Departments and then need to return for care.

In the latest interview, Ryan discusses the research behind the award, why health inequalities matter, and how evidence can help improve care for patients.

He also reflects on presenting his work at RCEM Annual Conference and shares advice for anyone thinking about getting involved in research themselves.

The last day of the Labour Conference recap from our President - flying the flag for the ED!

Yesterday, Ian Higginson was on a panel with Dame Diana Johnson Minister of Health for Public Health and Patient Safety. He made the case for how the shift to community is important and services in the community can support work to ease pressure on EDs. But he also adds this needs to be done in conjunction with support to restore flow and tackle exit block at the backdoor of hospitals

Today, our President was on a roundtable talking about the NHS workforce plan.

He also is visiting several hospitals to talk to emergency medicine staff and our members to discuss the current conditions and listen to their stories. Keep an eye out for more about this!
