A number of images and figures that were not being hidden when the Hide images filter is applied (Versions 1 and 3 only) have been identified and fixed. They should now disappear whenever the appropriate filter is applied.

The issues with the failure to display images and instability of the table of contents of the manual have been resolved by temporarily reverting to an earlier version of the files. This means that updates made in the past 3 weeks will not be able to be seen until a definitive solution to the problem … Read more

Please be aware that the table of contents has become unstable, and is linking to all sorts of weird places in the book. We have set up a temporary site for Version 1 of the manual which we suggest you use whilst we fix the problem. https://emergencymedicinemanual.com/Content/v6/alt/TEMM%206%20single%20volume-Responsive%20HTML5/ The temporary version is a few weeks old, … Read more

Please note there is a problem with the display of many images in both Version 1 and 2 of the manual at present. We are currently reverting back to earlier versions (i.e. 3 weeks ago) of these files until we rectify the problem – so some of the most recent updates may not be able … Read more

We have just completed the upgrading of the quality of nearly all the videos used on the website. The new files are larger than the old ones, so will take longer to load for the first time. The best way of viewing them is usually with the player set to loop the video continuously.  

30 new images have been added to the Image of the day gallery.

Four new images have been added to the CXR gallery.

8 new images have been added to the Orthopaedic image gallery.

Seven new ECGs have been added to the ECG gallery. 

A variety of videos on the site have had their image quality (and in some cases, duration) improved. More work on this is continuing.

We have just changed the web display slightly so the menu bar remains visible at the top of your device screen as you scroll down, whilst using the ‘front end’ of the website. We think it should help with navigation, but not take up too much screen space to get in the way. But let … Read more

For those of you interested in these sort of things, here are the webstats for The Emergency Medicine Manual Online for 2017 Total visits: 173,000 or 470 each day Pages viewed: 3.8 million – or 10,400 each day For those of you not interested in these sort of things – it was a busy year.

Both versions of the manual have just been updated with an expanded table of contents. The table of contents now contains 3 levels of topic headings when previously there were 2. The table of contents remains collapsible and expandable according to your wishes. We hope this change makes it easier for you to find exactly … Read more

We have just posted the 2000th update to the manual since September 2012 – averaging about 500 updates each year (with many more minor changes). This helps to illustrate how medicine is always changing and why it is important to keep as up to date as possible – a text book published 2 years ago … Read more

We have just noticed that a number of links from various pages on the site were broken. We think we have either fixed all of these or removed any links no longer active. Please let us know if you spot any broken links we might have missed.

We have just completed a bit of website redesign to improve the experience when using small screened devices.  Some of these changes are subtle, so if you haven’t noticed they are: Adding a search box to the top right of the main menu bar Reducing the size of the main page header Reducing the size … Read more

A series of links to the segment on IV magnesium therapy in the Hypomagnesaemia page have been added to the Management of life threatening asthma, Hypertension in pregnancy and  Ventricular arrhythmias pages.
