Welcome to Manchester for our Annual Scientific Meeting of the British Trauma Society (BTS) being held at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel on the 7 and 8 November 2018.
It is the 30th anniversary of the trauma society, founded as a multidisciplinary society to bring together all the disciplines in the care of the injured patient from neurosurgery, orthopaedic trauma, thoracic surgery, general surgery, vascular surgery, plastic surgery to pre-hospital care to rehabilitation. More recently it has affiliated with the European Society of Trauma and Surgery (ESTES), permitting an even more widespread sharing of knowledge and networking.
At this meeting in 2018 there will be paper and poster presentations in addition to pivotal talks from guest speakers from Orthopaedic Trauma, Emergency Medicine and TARN, Plastic Surgery, General Surgery and Neurosurgery. We are also delighted to host Mr Andy Grant who is a former Royal Marine Commando and War Veteran who was critically injured by an improvised explosive device who will talk about his experiences from the patient point of view. He is also an Invictus Games competitor winning two gold medals in the men’s 400M and 1400m. Finally at lunchtimes there will be trade symposia.
The committee will be giving cash prizes for the best presentations of a scientific nature and for the best presentation of a clinical nature as well as for the best posters, first and second prizes. TLA Medicolegal will also be awarding a cash prize for the presentation of greatest medicolegal impact as in previous years. There will also be a prize available for networking with trade – make sure you complete and hand in your exhibitor cards to the registration desk to be entered.
Membership to BTS is open to all medical disciplines that are involved in trauma care as well as all professions allied to medicine including students and trainees. One of the benefits of being a member of the BTS is that you receive Injury – The International Journal of Care of The Injured (impact factor 2.137), as part of your subscription with complimentary rates for our annual meeting and attendance at ESTES.
The meeting is well supported by industry and our thanks to them for their ongoing support to the society. Many thanks also to Archer Yates the events team.
