Emergency medicine

The focus of emergency medicine is the treatment of medical emergencies. This can be divded into emergency and disaster medicine, and includes anaesthesiology, internal medicine, surgery and neurology. Whereas first aid focuses on emergencies outside of medical facilities and is no different to emergency clinical care, disaster medicine deals with major incidents affecting large numbers of people, such as a natural disaster, plane crash, terrorist attack or train accident.
