title: The society for acute medicine: trainees' news.
abstract: Acute Medicine remains high on the agenda at all levels of organisation and planning in Healthcare provision and training in the UK. In March 2006, an RCP report to the Health Committee Inquiry on Workforce Needs and Planning for the Health Service said, "The specialty of acute medicine is a new initiative and is likely to deliver improvements in delivery of this critical and expanding area of care in the NHS. To drive development we believe the number of SpRs and consultants in the field need rapid expansion to gain critical mass to deliver acute medicine efficiently."
