FAQ

The LogEM FAQ.

Common questions about LogEM, the free logbook for UK emergency medicine trainees.

Get LogEM on the App Store Free. Unlimited entries.
Is LogEM free, or is there a subscription?

Yes. The logbook is free: unlimited entries, every procedure and scan type, full export, no trial and no subscription. A paid tier is planned for optional extras, and the logbook itself stays free. If something is asking you to subscribe before you can log or export your cases, it is not this app.

Does my logbook leave my phone?

No. Entries live on your device and are never uploaded. We hold your Apple or Google sign-in and your marketing preference, never your logbook.

Can I log POCUS scans?

Yes, as their own record type, with modality, findings and supervision level, feeding your POCUS tracker.

Can I export for ARCP?

Yes. Procedure logbook, POCUS logbook, combined logbook and POCUS tracker, as PDF, Excel or CSV.

Can I bring in my old logbook?

Yes. CSV, Excel or Word tables. Duplicates are flagged before anything is added.

Does it work offline?

Yes. LogEM writes to your device, not a server. It works in resus with no signal.

What happens when I change phone?

Export a backup from Account and import it on the new phone. An iPhone backup restores it too.

Which stages of training does it cover?

ACCS (CT1/ST1 to CT2/ST2), intermediate (ST3) and higher (ST4 to ST6). Pick yours and the lists follow.

Should I put patient details in it?

No, and there is nowhere to. No fields for names, dates of birth, or hospital or NHS numbers.
