Episode 8 - Daniel Fatovich

This week on This Emergency Life we had a quick chat with Professor Daniel Fatovich who is a long time emergency physician at the Royal Perth Emergency Department. Daniel is also the head of the Centre for Clinical Research in Emergency Medicine at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and Professor of Emergency Medicine at University of Western Australia. We cover a lot ground in our short chat; from how the NEAT targets are tracking 8 years later, to illicit drug presentations in the ED as well as Daniel's interest in the arts. During our conversation, we discuss a few videos which Daniel has released. They can be found here:

• The Art of the ED

• Time travel in the ED

• The lived experience of mental health patients in ED

I hope you enjoy Daniel's view of emergency care and please do check out his videos, they’re well worth it.
