#AMAW13 Conference Hashtag

Acute Medicine Awareness Week

Most hospitals in the UK have an Acute Medical Unit (AMU) providing high quality, multi-professional care for patients admitted to hospital as emergencies. Those of us who work in the speciality can see the benefits which the AMU offers on a daily basis. However, beyond our walls, there is often a poor understanding of the concept of acute medicine. The Society wants to raise awareness of our specialty so that in the future the term acute medicine will be as familiar to patients and NHS staff as any other aspect of hospital care. www.acutemedicine.org --> Acute Medicine Awareness Week
