title: A general practitioner's guide to emergency services.
abstract: Emergency services are a diverse group of agencies that have evolved in response to local needs. Dealing with emergency services at an accident site can be difficult for medical officers who are unfamiliar with the services. The best way of improving this situation is to meet with the emergency services first and prepare by joint training with them.
