Medical lecture: Emergency Care (A&E and Ambulance Service) and How to Stay Healthy
Come along and learn from the experts what the Emergency Department (ED) is really for, what it can do, and what it cannot do for you. Also, listen to advice from our GP, Paramedic and BLMK ICB colleagues on how best to stay healthy and how to avoid the need to attend the ED.
Over 250,000 people attend our EDs each year, many of whom could have avoided having to do so. The lecture will be presented by Consultant and Deputy Medical Director Mr David Kirby, together with colleagues from the Ambulance Service, General Practice and Craig Lister from the BLMK ICB.
