evidence-based trauma care to provide the basis for the current/new trauma care

provided opportunities for individuals to submit abstracts for publication in

opportunity for clinicians to undertake presentations (abstracts and posters) at
an international meeting as part of their continuing professional development
requirements.  Full details can be found on the conference website
