Emergency medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with acute sickness or injury. This form of medicine is concerned with sustaining life and limb before handing the patient over to the appropriate department for specialised care.
Those who work in emergency medicine are usually found in the Emergency Department of the hospital (sometimes referred to as the ER, ED or A&E).
Emergency medicine is vital as it ensures that any life threatening conditions are eliminated or controlled so life and limb can be sustained. Emergency medicine workers include surgeons, doctors, nurses, paramedics, ambulance officers, triage personnel and other hospital workers. These workers must be able to function in rushed and stressful conditions and make clear judgment quickly.

Emergency Medical Identification is a system that alerts physicians and emergency medicine personnel of a health condition, medical history, or other factors that may impact emergency medical services.
An Emergency medicine in private practice is typically a member of a group that has a contract with a hospital or group of hospitals to provide emergency care in the Emergency department. This is in contrast with those physicians who are employees of the hospital or are members of an academic/teaching practice.
