Executive Summary: The Strategic Imperative of PEM Sub-Specialty Accreditation
Paediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) is formally recognised as a sub-specialty of both Emergency Medicine (EM) and Paediatrics in the United Kingdom.[1, 2] For Emergency Medicine trainees, pursuing PEM sub-specialty accreditation represents a critical professional choice that significantly enhances clinical capability and career marketability. The successful completion of the stipulated training programme culminates in the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) recommending the doctor to the General Medical Council (GMC) for inclusion on the Specialist Register, noting PEM as a sub-specialty alongside EM.[1]
