Australasian Emergency Care: Uniting the professions of emergency care

Abstract

Colleagues, It is with great pleasure Volume 21 Issue 1 heralds the launch of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia's newly branded flagship journal Australasian Emergency Care. The rebranding of Australasian Emergency Nursing Journal to Australasian Emergency Care further builds directly on our global reputation as a journal of influence and distinction following decades of sustained growth. Our new scope reflects the growing contemporary and future emergency care needs of patients, their families and the community in an ever-changing world. Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia, Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. It serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting our inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. We have a strong focus on enhancing the patient experience and improving quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings.
