Celebrating Acute Medicine Week
Last week was Celebrating Acute Medicine Week – I’ve included some highlights from xformerlyknownastwitter below.
Next week, the takeAIM team are off to Brighton for the bi-annual Society for Acute Medicine conference. Excited to catch up with colleagues from across the UK and hopefully convince a few more interested resident doctors to pursue a career in the best medical specialty.
Eilish, Zack and Husam will be there – come find us on the takeAIM table!

As I try to get my head around being an ST6 (?!), I’m just really excited for what comes next. I’m excited to see my AIM family at #SAMBrighton in a few weeks. And I’m excited about what the future holds for our brilliant specialty. #CAMW2024
