TRAUMA CONFERENCE

The conference was started with the aim of educating fellow medical students from across the United Kingdom about the essential aspects in the extremely popular field of trauma medicine and surgery. Without falling short of this, delegates have left each year with a clearer perspective on understanding and delivering clinical excellence to the trauma patient. In our 4th year running, the dedicated members of the KCL surgical society have worked extremely hard to put together a two day programme of interactive lectures and workshops. Workshops serve to consolidate delegates’ knowledge from lectures, whilst providing a unique opportunity to strengthen key practical skills.
