Bookings for the The London Trauma Conference will open in May 2026
London Trauma Conference 2026 will be held from 8th to 11th December at the prestigious Royal Geographical Society in London.
The meeting is the well established premier forum for trauma, pre-hospital critical care and resuscitation in Europe. It is specifically designed for senior clinicians shaping the future of emergency care.
We will again be bringing together internationally recognised leaders, academics and decision-makers to deliver a high quality and stimulating programme covering high-level, evidence-driven insights across trauma systems, pre-hospital strategy, and cardiac arrest management.
The conference will focus on state of the art management, system leadership, and innovation and will provide an exceptional platform to exchange expertise, influence practice, and connect with peers at the forefront of global emergency care.
The conference has been sold out on the last two occasions and tickets will be going on sale later this month.
We look forward to welcoming you to London in December.
The keynote speakers are pioneers in their fields and will deliver thought provoking presentations on key elements of acute care practice.
