Reading Room
Welcome to the ECA’s virtual library. It’s open 24/7 and you’ll never get landed with late charges.
The Reading Room is packed with emergency care references and resources, all the information you need to stay on top of a fast-moving field of practice.
We’re adding to the collection all the time, building the finest compendium of specialist knowledge that exists anywhere in emergency care nursing.
Go straight to the source:
- National guidelines from government agencies UK-wide plus the RCN and other royal colleges, charities and voluntary organisations (coming soon).
- Key emergency care documents including government strategies, national service frameworks, audits, research findings and performance-related statistics.
- Books and book reviews from both UK and international sources, each with a synopsis and publication details.
- Journals featuring the ECA’s own award-winning Emergency Nurse.
- Emergency Care Matters- your ECA newsletter.
