We will also present the 2 Named Lectures, the Gordon Trinca and the Fraser Gurd Lectures, given by Dr Michael Parr (ATS) and Dr Richard Simons (TAC) as well as an interesting debate.
We are also providing some pre-conference workshops which include the following: the Definitive Surgery for Trauma Care (DSTC) Workshop, an Advanced Airway Workshop, a Simulated Trauma and Resuscitation Team Training (STARTT) Workshop, a Trauma Ultrasound Workshop, a Trauma Nursing Forum and a Trauma Research Forum.
