Accident & Emergency
Accident & Emergency (A&E), also known as Emergency Medicine, is the medical specialty focused on providing immediate care to patients with acute illnesses or injuries that require urgent medical attention. Emergency physicians and healthcare teams in A&E departments triage patients based on the severity of their condition, stabilize critical patients, and provide rapid diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. They manage a wide spectrum of emergencies, including trauma, heart attacks, strokes, respiratory distress, and severe infections, ensuring timely and effective treatment to save lives and promote recovery.
