About the Conference:

• This conference focuses on the most critical and challenging aspects of Pre-Hospital Care (PHC) and Retrieval in the UK. Lectures, skills stations and case scenarios will focus on key areas, looking at the approach to scene and its assessment, primary survey, resuscitation, securing the airway, rapid sequence intubation, ventilation, breathing and circulation, practical reviews throughout the Pre-Hospital phase of care, stabilisation and transport of the critically unwell adult and child, aero medical decisions, major incidents, controversies in the Pre-Hospital resuscitation of the critically ill and injured, etc. This conference is not solely focussed on trauma.

• The keynote session focuses on recent developments in the Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM, training and career progression, how PHEM will link in with trauma centres/systems locally and nationally, and the contrasts between PHC in and out of London.

• The conference contributes to developing effective team management for doctors from a variety of backgrounds and actively delivering PHC. All lecturers are actively involved in PHC and transfer services throughout the UK.

• As major PHC becomes increasingly a consultant-led service, with the emphasis on early expert decision-making, it is imperative that consultants develop their PHC skills and expertise sooner rather than later.
