CONFERENCE HOST:

Dr. Nicholas Sparrow

“I strongly believe that the care provided in the field makes a real difference to what happens in the hospital. All emergency service providers, whether in the field or the hospital have a vital role to play in their communities. The aim is to bring these groups together for a fun day of learning and dialogue. This is a great opportunity... don't miss out ! “
