AIRMED 2011 Moves Closer
Thursday, 24 June, 2010
Registration is now open for the next Airmed Congress in 2011.
The international aero medical conference is just one year away and will, for the first time ever be held in the UK. The four day event starts on Tuesday May 24 2011 and is being hosted in Brighton on the south coast of England.
Delegates from the international medical and aviation world are expected to attend the conference to hear experts speak on a broad range of topics and attend workshops in covering clinical, management and operational issues.
The conference sessions will deal with issues ranging from trauma and airway management to clinical governance and medical emergencies. Renowned international speakers will present up to date evidence based sessions and future innovation in the clinical world. Management sessions will cover tendering; managing change; outsourcing and management strategies. The operational part of the programme will look at both helicopter and fixed wing operations and an aviation exhibition will be held at nearby Shoreham airport on the final day. The basis of the scientific programme has been set by the committee, but a full version and the speakers will be announced nearer the date.
Clinicians, pilots, managers and other individuals involved in the aviation, HEMS and Air Ambulance world are invited to submit either oral or poster presentations in one of six categories; Pre-hospital medicine, Flight safety, Maintenance, Management, Training and Simulation and Medical or Technical Research.
The deadline for abstracts is drawing closer. These will be reviewed by a panel of experts and successful authors will have the opportunity to showcase their submissions at Airmed 2011.
John Tickner Chef Executive of the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance said 'It is a great honour to be able to host the first ever Airmed Congress held in the UK and we feel that Brighton is an ideal location for such an event. The congress is now less than a year away, a great deal of planning has taken place and we are confidant that this will be an exciting and successful conference.'
