Intro

Merry Christmas! This month for the December 2024 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast, we have got a new in EM segment looking at the surgical management of haemorrhagic stroke. Becky and Chris talk gift us with a big discussion around the management of pain in the ED. Rob talks to Laura Howard and Gregory Yates about reviving the BestBETS project, before ending with New Online. If you'd like to email us, please feel free to do so here.
