Society for Endocrinology Emergency Endocrine Guidance

The Society for Endocrinology’s Clinical Committee has produced Emergency Endocrine Guidance for three potentially life-threatening conditions which would necessitate urgent treatment: Acute Hypercalcaemia, Acute Hypocalcaemia (in adults) and Pituitary Apoplexy. These documents are targeted at health professionals and the emergency services and aim to provide emergency guidance through the initial phase of assessment and management of the patient. These documents are available to download from the Society website http://www.endocrinology.org/policy/ and will be published for distribution in the near future. We would appreciate your help to publicise these documents widely to ensure that they are available in emergency departments throughout the UK. For more information, please contact Rachel Austin at rachel.austin@endocrinology.org
