Multidisciplinary Trauma Forum 2026
An inclusive trauma system involves an interdisciplinary approach to injury prevention, pre-hospital, acute in-hospital care, rehabilitation, community partnerships, research, education, and quality improvement.
We invite all interdisciplinary healthcare professionals who are actively involved in trauma care, trauma services, or the wider trauma system to participate in this full-day interactive forum.
Invited Speakers: will represent all dimensions of trauma care throughout the patient journey. They will present on areas of high interest to the participants.
Rapid Fire: provides the opportunity for participants to submit an abstract, to share an innovative project, quality improvement initiative or their latest research.
Marketplace: encourages participants to prepare a 30 second pitch on a trauma initiative or project they are involved in or would like to collaborate on.
Round Table Discussions will focus on all aspects of trauma quality improvement in the prehospital, retrieval, nursing, allied health, registry and research teams.
