President’s Address
Dear Colleagues
It is sunny and warm outside yet, here I am writing this. Why, because I am really excited to invite you to the annual scientific meeting of the British Trauma Society 2022 as we are back on track to face-face meeting after two years of Covid with cancellation one year and a virtual meeting last year.
I also wanted to refresh a few essential points.
We are a multidisciplinary society with the aim of bringing together all the disciplines in the care of the injured patient from “road-side to recovery”. From pre-hospital care to accident and emergency, neurosurgery, orthopaedic trauma, thoracic trauma, general surgery, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, urological surgery to rehabilitation.
The framework for the two days of the annual scientific meeting consists of oral presentations from you, keynote talks from invited “world-class” guest faculty, poster presentations, trade presentations, an annual general meeting of the society but above all this an exciting time meeting lots of like-minded people and net-working.
So what are you waiting for? Come to the meeting and present your work provided it is trauma related as I have indicated above. We are a friendly society and appreciate all the hard work you do in preparing and presenting your work. Chairing of the sessions is by BTS committee and the guest faculty so you get a good feedback.
Whether you are a consultant, a trainee, a staff member, a medical student, or a member of allied health professionals, you are all welcome to attend the meeting and to present your work. Hurry, as time is short (closing date 31st July 2022) as we wish to give you sufficient time to sort out your work schedule.
To enhance our meeting every year we have a theme and this year it is “Innovation in trauma”. The latest, the best that there is in managing trauma and saving lives and presented by the guest faculty. These include Nelson Olim (WHO head of simulation and the MCM programme), Herald Veen (WHO MCM Europe) WHO academy, creating global mass casualty programme, Professor Ian Pallister-high fidelity simulation, Major Max Marsden on artificial intelligence in trauma, Mark Wilson, neurosurgeon on the current status of cervical collars, Martin Griffiths on violence reduction lead NHS England and Steve Bush on beyond ATLS, future views.
There is something for everyone. There are generous prizes for oral and poster presentations, including a prize for the best medical student presentation. There is also a prize for the best candidate interaction with trade.
Mark my words. You will have an unique experience. I look forward to seeing you there!

|
Prof Lord is the Director of the MRC-Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research and Professor of Cell Biology.
Her research focusses on the dysregulation of immunity in old age, in particular the decline in neutrophil function and how this compromises the response to infection and tissue injury. She aims to understand the mechanism involved and to develop novel therapies to improve immunity in older adults.
