AbstractPeople experiencing the highest levels of social deprivation are more likely to present to emergency care across the spectrum of disease severity, and to have worse outcomes following acute illness. Emergency medicine in the UK and Europe has lagged behind other regions in incorporating social emergency medicine into practice. There is evidence that emergency clinicians have the potential to mitigate health inequalities, through advocacy and intervention supported by high-quality research, while also acknowledging the limitations intrinsic to the environment in which they work.© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.
