About the Book

Challenging Concepts in Emergency Medicine (1st Edition) is a case-based clinical guide designed to help trainees and clinicians navigate real-world emergency medical situations that do not have straightforward answers. Built around complex and high-stakes case scenarios, this book focuses on both core and specialist emergency care, including paediatric emergencies and intensive care challenges, where decision-making can be nuanced and time-critical.

Instead of simply listing protocols, the book breaks down each case from a multidisciplinary perspective, presenting management pathways, treatment considerations, and the supporting clinical evidence behind each decision. With learning-focused features such as Learning Points, Clinical Tips, Evidence Base summaries, and Future Advances, the content is structured to support active learning, deep reflection, and confident clinical application.

Reviewed by national and international experts, each chapter includes an Expert Commentary, offering a rare insight into how leading practitioners think, reason, and manage uncertainty in emergency settings. This format makes the book especially useful as an exam companion for MCEM, FCEM, workplace-based assessments, revalidation, and continuing emergency medicine education.
