Last December, BMC Emergency Medicine published a supplement containing abstracts from the 2012 Emergency Medicine Annual Congress  which was held in Beijing in November.

With the theme of ‘One World, One Standard of Emergency Medicine’, the congress was hosted by the Chinese Emergency Physician Association and aimed to bring together Emergency Medicine physicians from a range of specialities, from surgeons and anesthetists, through to bacteriologists and dieticians.

Continuing our association with this congress, BMC Emergency Medicine is today publishing a full paper supplement of the proceedings of the conference. We hope that this will prove useful for everyone who was not able to make their way out to Beijing for the conference themselves, and for all physicians and researchers with an interest in the current state of emergency medicine research, and where we will be heading in the future.
