Happy Mayday! Apologies for the delay... this month for the May 2024 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast Rob and Liz have two new in EM sections on the use of clonidine for pain and the use of coca cola in food boluses. We have a new Guidelines for EM section on The NEXUS Guidelines for Chest Imaging and then Rob speaks with Matt Reed about submitting your work for the RCEM Annual Scientific Conference. We then end with New Online. If you'd like to email us, please feel free to do so here.
