It gives me immense pleasure to introduce you to: Associate Professor Willem Stassen. @willem_stassen’s ad hominem promotion is a well deserved acknowledgement of the massive impact he has had on acute care delivery and research capacity building on the continent. @afemafrica

I was shocked by the actions of the SAPS this weekend. In 2 separate incidents, Emergency Doctors on their way to save lives were harassed, threatened and intimidated at roadblocks - despite having appropriate identification and permits. Is this how we treat frontline heroes?

Access block and overcrowding should be seen as abuse of EM staff - and significantly increase burnout. Burnout is perhaps an appropriate response to the war zone that is EM @tmullligan @SallyMcCEP #ICEM2019 #emssa2019

Paediatric emergency medicine finally approved as a sub-speciality by the HPCSA. Will be great to advance emergency care for kids in South Africa. Persistence paid off at last @RogerDickerson @HeikeGeduld

Just arrived in Mexico City for the #ICEM2018 conference. Enjoying the city before the hard work starts. Although, getting emergency physicians to agree on a direction is not easy @HeikeGeduld @JoosteW @emssaorgza
