WELCOME TO OUR FAMOUS SWAN CONFERENCE – 2024

The annual SWAN Trauma, Critical Care & Emergency Surgery Conference has become the most popular and best attended conference of its kind in Australia. As we enter our record 29th year, we continue to grow and expand our program and faculty expertise. Once again the venue is the magnificent Sheraton Grand in Sydney, overlooking the beautiful Hyde Park.

The Conference Scientific Program will once again impress you with our International world renowned faculty from the United Kingdom, the United States, Norway and Singapore as well as our stellar National experts. This will be an amazing two days of lectures, great debates, interactive case scenarios, key note speeches, prize winning competitions and Q and A sessions. There is also our popular free paper session for all to have a chance at presenting their current work and scientific research. SWAN will again ask the popular “Hard Talk” questions and enjoy heated discussions on the controversies and complexities of trauma and emergency surgery care.

As usual we will be running the Thursday pre-Conference day with 2 Workshops/Courses – DMEP (Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness Course) and the EASC (Emergency Abdominal Surgery Course).

Feedback from past delegates has been fantastic and we greatly appreciate the comments and compliments. We have incorporated into the new program a number of delegate requests and suggestions. We want this conference to leave you inspired and encouraged to take your experience and expertise to the next level. Trauma and Emergency General Surgery continue to be the epitome of difficult clinical challenges and we see this conference as a meeting of like minds and hearts that will embrace those challenges and provide the best of care for patients and communities.

We really look forward to seeing you again at Australia’s leading Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Surgery Conference for an excellent two days of education, entertainment and inspiration and a great preconference day of courses. This conference will ensure you are up to date as well as give you the privilege of sharing the vast experience and knowledge of our expert faculty as well as other delegates involved in trauma and emergency general surgical care.
