Hi, as a Mil ATCO, I can tell you that once one of our aircraft has declared an emergency there is no requirement to prefix the call sign by either the pilot or the ATCO.

The pilot and ATCO should prefix the call sign on the initial emergency call and on the last call before handover.

Not sure if this is standard for Civil ATCOs too?
