About SWAN
A very warm welcome to our annual SWAN Trauma, Critical Care & Emergency Surgery Conference
The most popular and best attended conference of its kind in Australia. Once again held at the magnificent Sheraton Grand in Sydney, overlooking the beautiful Hyde Park.
Be ready for a power packed conference filled with ground breaking presentations, debates, interactive scenarios, discussions, as well as a dedicated Research Symposium, two Breakfast sessions and the popular Stop the Bleed lunchtime Workshop.
We are currently finalising our International world renowned faculty and will also have a fantastic line up of stellar National experts.
Given the immense popularity of the Scientific Research paper and poster session we will have a separate Trauma, Acute Care Surgery and Critical Care Scientific Research Symposium which will run concurrently with the SWAN Conference after the Plenary Session. This will allow all to have a chance at presenting their current work and scientific research.Â
Feedback from past delegates and sponsors 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 in your quest for excellence in patient care. Trauma and Emergency General Surgery often presents patients with difficult and complex clinical challenges and we see this meeting as a meeting of like minds that will embrace those challenges and find the best surgical management.
We really look forward to seeing you at Australia’s leading Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Surgery Conference for two days of education, entertainment and inspiration and a great preconference day of courses and our Scientific Research Symposium. 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 faculty of experts as well as other delegates involved in trauma care.
