Join us we provide an evidence-based update on novel challenges in trauma care. We ensure a deeper understanding of how to build the 'ultimate team' and the dynamics in a high-performance environment, with Keynote speaker Dr. Kevin Fong OBE discussing Project Apollo; humankind's mission to the moon.
High-performance major trauma management is an essential role for emergency physicians, surgeons, pre-hospital clinicians, anesthetists, and critical care clinicians. We face increasing threats from battlefield style trauma in the civilian setting and major incidents in an increasingly populous nation. Recent advances in trauma care have been significant, but how do we go to the next level?
We'll review current evidence, discuss contemporary threats such as blast injury and examine hidden major trauma in our society in the very young and the elderly.
Book your place to:
- Understand the mechanisms behind blast and ballistic trauma and resulting injuries
- Appreciate how the history of trauma has developed and how this continues to influence and aid modern trauma practice
- Have insight into the patient's experience of life-changing trauma
- Be aware of the degree of 'stealth' trauma in the young and old and how we can improve our recognition and management of this patient group
