June 2025

Happy June! This month for the June 2025 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast Rob covers for Andy and discussed two HALO-heavy papers with Dave - looking at the London HEMS pre-hospital thoracotomy paper and a systematic review looking at resuscitative hysterotomy. Becky and Chris go on the first of a two part deep dive through a guideline looking at the management of acute behavioural disturbance and we then end with New Online!
