This document outlines a policy position on the signage that should be used to denote emergency departments. It is a matter of public safety that if a facility is signposted as an ‘Emergency Department’ or ‘Emergency’ then it must comply with a minimum standard as defined in the ACEM Statement on the Delineation of Emergency Departments.
ACEM believes that the clinical support component of practice time for (non-director) FACEMs should be 30% and no less than 25% as measured as a total of the employed hours for each FACEM, irrespective of total hours worked.
We partner with one another, with patients and with other health professionals. We unite to achieve better outcomes, to learn and to advance as a body, as a specialty, and as a practice.
We are fair to one another, to our patients and to other health professionals. We work in ways that are impartial and aware. We acknowledge disparities in health outcomes across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and we strive for a system and service that is better.
