Abstract
The emergency care practitioners (ECP) role is one requiring a new model of education: the Department of Health promoting a 16 week course. In London, ECPs undertake a two year interdisciplinary healthcare diploma, practising after completion of modules in “the nature of physical assessment” and “clinical decision making”, then covering pharmacology, paediatrics, minor illness, minor injury, chronic conditions, and mental health. Clinical placements and self management are central. https://emj.bmj.com/content/23/4/e31 This is an Open Access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited and the use is non-commercial. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/emj.2005.032946
