title: Editorial board's eye view.
abstract: As I am preparing to leave the RCN this month, I have been asked to write a reflective piece about emergency care. I have to admit that my mind is filled with a kaleidoscope of pictures and memories, events marked by various reports and publications and people, and nurses who have been truly inspirational and innovative and who have made their mark on A&E care and nursing.
