The 1^st Community Emergency Medicine Conference is a one day meeting for clinicians and managers that are interested in responding collaboratively to the challenges across the Urgent and Emergency care sector that have resulted from high system demand, increasing clinical and social complexity, and a challenged emergency workforce.

The programme will define the nature of the challenge, and explore solutions and opportunities for more integrated and collaborative working between acute trusts, ambulance services, community providers and primary care.
