traumathechallenge@renown.orgThe British Association of Immediate Care (BASICS). International Prehospital Care Conference 2008
West Midlands, United Kingdom
September 26, 2008 - September 28, 2008
"The team is the theme”
This year’s conference concentrates on the team approach required for the safe, competent and effective delivery of prehospital immediate care. The first 1½ days are a selection of lectures, discussions and debates on this topic and include presentations from multi-disciplinary members such as medical students, nurses, doctors, fire and police officers. Topics comprise how to build, train and assess an effective team, examples of innovative medical systems in the UK, lessons in teamwork from other emergency services applicable to the immediate care practitioner and opinions of what the immediate care practitioner should bring to an incident and whether this is achieved.
There are numerous reports from actual incidents from the people involved, highlighting the problems and successes on scene for the team. Additionally, the other aspects of being a rescue team are considered, including lessons from the Hull drowning incident during the UK 2007 floods, dealing with injured colleagues, the involvement of the coroner and the psychological impact of being a rescuer.
Small group plenary sessions will allow delegates to learn practical skills, participate in an international Webinar regarding emergency responding using ‘blues and twos’, learn about the prehospital implications of the Mental Capacity Act, see Volvo’s demonstration vehicle with cut-a-ways revealing developments within the modern vehicle of note to the rescue services and more besides.
A thought provoking Haywood memorial lecture on Saturday evening will be delivered by Dr Tom Clarke, Chair of the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (JRCALC).
The final ½ day includes lectures from international speakers on topics including the ethics of dealing with mass casualties and the development of MERIT teams in the UK.
This conference promises to be a provocative look at immediate care in an era of increasing demands to demonstrate the robustness of the prehospital team.
13 CPD points are available for the conference.

London Trauma Conference and Masterclasses
London, UK
November 12, 2008 - November 14, 2008
The 2008 London Trauma Conference builds on the success of the previous years meetings, as it rapidly positions itself as one of the leading global trauma conferences, with participants from Europe, the Middle East & Asia. This year TRAUMA.ORG will be partnering directly with Medical Excellence to deliver an outstanding scientific and practical symposium on the state of the art in trauma care.
Full Conference Details & Programme
Special symposia and masterclasses will run on the final day, November 14th.
TRAUMA SYSTEMS MASTERCLASS. TRAUMA.ORG will be running a special masterclass on Trauma Systems. As several European countries are in the process of developing formalised systems of regionalised trauma care, we will examine the evidence to support their introduction and discuss key elements in their designation and implementation to ensure optimal outcomes for trauma care. What does a trauma centre do? What’s the difference between a trauma centre and a major trauma centre? How does a hospital become a major trauma centre. How do you minimise the impact of trauma care on elective service provision? How is prehospital care effectively integrated in a trauma system. How is the performance of trauma centres and systems evaluated?
TRAUMATIC COAGULOPATHY & MASSIVE TRANSFUSION SYMPOSIUM. This symposium, funded in part by the UK’s National Institute of Health Research, will present the current state of the art in our knowledge of Trauma Induced Coagulopathy, the Acute Coagulopathy of Trauma, and the management of Massive Transfusion and Catastrophic Haemorrhage.
HELICOPTER MEDICINE. A breakaway session for paramedics, doctors and nurses practising or interested in prehospital medicine centred around helicopters. Supported by UKHEMS. This masterclass is designed for paramedics, doctors and nurses involved in rotary wing Medevac. A vibrant programme, reviews the latest developments and thinking in prehospital care in this arena. Supported by UK HEMS.
