Welcome

I struggled to find PEM resources for my CT3 year, despite the variety of excellent resources out there. I hope this website will help point you in the right direction. I'm not a PEM expert, but am following the guidance CEM have issued (in the form of a syllabus) to put together this page. This page is not endorsed by CEM, and any mistakes are mine.

Please comment with corrections, additions and further suggestions.

All the information here is collected from the internet, and it might be out of date or inaccurate, so please use your judgement and adhere to your hospital's protocols. If you do notice any errors or omissions please comment so we can put them right!

To navigate, decide whether you want to start with a PMP or a PAP. You can then select which PMP or PAP you want to look at. You will then be taken to the summary page for that PMP, with links expanded topic collections. If you know what topic you want to look at already, click on the link on the right hand side.

    For my entire life, I felt that luck wasn't on my side. I played the lottery time and again, hoping for a change that never came. Everything changed the day I heard about Priest Alaska, a spiritual guide known for attracting good fortune and clearing blocked paths. I got in touch with him, followed his instructions, and used the special numbers he gave me. I still had doubts... until the results came in. That day, I won 14.8 million pounds. My whole world changed in an instant. I realized that luck wasn't against me; I simply needed the right energy and guidance. If you feel stuck or unlucky, don't lose hope. Priest Alaska can help you, too.
