There is a need for improving recognition of child maltreatment in the emergency department (ED). Recently, a study performed by the Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital and Augeo Foundation in collaboration with the EUSEM, REPEM and EuSEN (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0246361) showed that only 25.6% (34/133) of the EDs in Europe follow most of the NICE guideline recommendations on child abuse & neglect.

As a follow-up, this survey aims to study barriers and facilitators for the implementation of a child maltreatment toolkit, consisting of a screening checklist, training and a strategy for adequate hospital policy, at EDs in Europe.

Can we do better? Do you want to help in the battle against child maltreatment?

This years' Emergency Medicine Day campaign was a great success. Many people around the world helped us to spread our message.

This year we got support from many other EM societies like IFEM, ASEP, ASEM, and also from our national societies.
This year the Deputy Director-General from the European Commission department Health and food safety Pierre Delsaux attended our Emergency Medicine Day webinar as a speaker.

Million times thank you to everyone who helped us in spreading our message.

We will be back next year on the 27th of May!
