Abstract
Acute medicine is an important part of a general physician’s role. Clinicians are increasingly expected to recognise, understand and treat patients in the relentless advance of modern medicine. This makes medicine challenging and a commitment to keep up to date is vital. This conference therefore was broad and wide-ranging in its content, with some of the presentations concentrating on aspects of research while others dealt with more clinical practice issues. The core themes of obesity and social behavioural change, with respect to alcohol and how these will have a major impact not only on disease burden but also on the economy, recurred during the conference. The October 2009 conference focused on medicine, its organisation and the pathway of patients from admission to discharge. Community-based medicine, in terms of intermediate care, was also represented. It was well attended and the talks were given by 46 clinicians working in different parts of the UK, which provided a diverse and dynamic element especially within the post-presentation discussions.
