Interested in a career in Emergency Medicine or Prehospital Care? Whether you imagine responding to emergencies across London with blue lights flashing, or simply want to build confidence managing acute medical situations, KCL Emergency Medicine Society offers an exciting opportunity to explore one of medicine’s most dynamic specialties.
KCL EMS aims to equip students with the skills, confidence, and real-world insight needed to thrive in critical care environments. We introduce students to the full spectrum of emergency and prehospital medicine through education, clinical exposure, and practical skills development.
We run a wide range of events throughout the year, open to students from all healthcare disciplines, including:
Expert talks and webinars led by clinicians in Emergency Medicine (EM) and Prehospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM)
Practical skills sessions designed to build confidence in acute care scenarios
Coffee & Cases — an informal teaching series where students present interesting cases from placements and shifts
Mock OSCE circuits, focusing on structured A–E assessments to help you prepare for clinical examinations
One of our flagship opportunities is the KCL Prehospital Care Programme (PCP).
Through PCP, medical and nursing students can take part in observation shifts with the London Ambulance Service, gaining valuable exposure to real clinical environments and emergency responses. This unique experience allows students to see prehospital medicine in action and develop practical understanding beyond traditional university teaching.
