Who builds LogEM.

Who I am

I am Dr Thomas Porter, an emergency medicine registrar in the UK. I built LogEM because I needed it. I was keeping procedures in a spreadsheet, scans in a different spreadsheet, and writing both up properly only when ARCP was close.

Everything in the app is shaped by that. Logging has to be quick enough to do on shift, or it does not happen.

Why it is free

LogEM is free, with unlimited entries and no trial period. There is no advertising and nothing is sold on.

A paid tier is planned for optional extras. The logbook itself stays free.

What I can and cannot see

Your logbook is stored on your own device. It is not uploaded and I hold no copy of it, so I cannot read your entries even if you ask me to.

The only thing held is a sign-in record: an identifier and an email or Apple relay address, plus your marketing preference. Full detail is in the privacy policy.

Independent of the College

LogEM is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. The procedure list mirrors the RCEM procedural skills list so entries map to what your portfolio expects, but LogEM is not an official College tool and your official portfolio is wherever your deanery says it is.

Which LogEM this is

LogEM is the iPhone app at logem.co.uk, App Store ID 6787253139, listed as Emergency Medicine Log: LogEM and published by me, Dr Thomas Porter.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any other product using a similar name at a different address. If you are unsure whether you are looking at this app, the App Store listing is the one that counts. I have had someone pay for something else believing it was this, so it is worth a moment to check.
