Before #FOAMed was invented the St.Emlyn's team were already deeply immersed in online learning. Back in 2005 we began using a moodle platform to teach our junior doctors online such that we did not have to rely on everyone being in the same place at the same time.
One of the most awesome developments at St. Emlyn's over the last year or so has been the St. Emlyn's events that we've started running. The godfather of #FOAM himself, Joe Lex, was our first ever Visiting Professor last year, and he gave an amazing talk to inspire us all.
If you could pick just one speaker from SMACC Gold to give a bespoke, inspiring talk to you and your colleagues locally you probably couldn't do it. Your mind would shut down - there were too many good speakers.
This week Emergency Departments across the UK will be full of doctors who will be feeling exactly as I did on that day
