Sammanfattning
Swedish Society of Emergency Medicine, SWESEM, conducted 2007 a web-based questionnaire to all Swedish Emergency Departments (ED's). Sixty-one out of 74 (82.4%) ED's answered. There was a total increase of visits by 6.2% or 106 000 visits during the last three years. The increase was highest in the largest ED's while the smaller ED's had a higher visiting frequency per 1000 inhabitants. The newly recognised speciality in Emergency Medicine was established in 11 emergency departments and another 12 planned to start within 2 years. One year after recognition of the new speciality there was 162 registered in programs for becoming Emergency physicians and within 3 years from recognition there will be emergency medicine programs in more the 1/3 of al ED's in Sweden
