St Emlyn’s is a long-standing online resource for emergency medicine and critical care, created by a team of UK clinicians based in Manchester. The project includes a blog, podcast, and teaching materials, all focused on sharing high-quality, evidence-informed insights from the frontline of acute care.
The podcast is hosted by Prof Simon Carly and Dr Iain Beardsell.
Simon Carley and Iain Beardsell break down trauma team leadership in major trauma centres-covering team roles, task allocation, CT targets, primary survey efficiency, and leadership behaviours that make resus safer.
Simon Carley and Iain Beardsell break down number needed to treat (NNT), absolute and relative risk reduction-exploring examples from thrombolysis, aspirin, and stroke trials with practical insights for shared decision-making.
When should we change practice? This episode explores the risks of early and late adoption in emergency medicine, drawing on examples like flecainide, epinephrine, VSE, and TTM.
How does prevalence affect diagnostic reasoning? This episode unpacks population risk, false negatives, test performance, shared decision-making, and the real-world impact of ‘missed’ diagnoses.
In part two of this diagnostic series, Simon and Iain break down how emergency clinicIains move from pre-test to post-test probability, using likelihood ratios, continuous variables, and real-world thresholds to make nuanced decisions.
In this foundational episode, the hosts unpack sensitivity, specificity, and how emergency clinicIains use probability and risk tolerance to safely rule out life-threatening conditions.
This episode previews SMACC Chicago-its energy, right-brain talks, scientific depth, and global EM impact. Iain and Simon share why UK clinicIains should make the trip.
In this inaugural episode, Simon and Iain explain what FOAMed means to them, why they’re starting a podcast, and what makes the UK emergency medicine perspective unique in the global FOAMed community.
