• Subscription to the Emergency Care Online mailing list (known as ECO)

What is a mailing list?

Mailing lists are a small but important part of the Internet. They use the medium of electronic mail for operation and are, effectively, electronic mailing clubs. Any message sent to a mailing list will be distributed to all members of that list whose e-mail addresses are held centrally on an independent server.

Aims and philosophy

The list promotes discussions of relevance to pre-hospital emergency care within the multi-professional membership. While predominantly aimed at pre-hospital providers in the UK and Ireland it welcomes contributors from all over the world who feel they can contribute positively to the list.

Pre-hospital Clinical Case Studies are posted to list periodically which encourage members to offer a diagnosis and method of treatment/disposal. With activate participation from FR's, Nurses, Ambulance personnel and Doctors etc. this enables members to gain insight in the thinking process of each professional group and gives the opportunity to learn from one and other.

History

Emergency Care Online was established as a free service in July 1997. Officially launched in December 1997, it has seen a rise in membership to 550-600 subscribers and is generally considered the leading pre-hospital forum in the UK.

The site and list are run by the British Ambulance Association.
