Military Surgery 2012 Programme
Military Surgery Conference encompasses all branches of military surgery.
The aim of the Military Surgery Conference is to bring together experts, both clinical and academic, but also trainees and paramedical practitioners. We therefore hope the conference will provide a vehicle to collaboration within the field of military surgery and foster international links.
There are speakers and delegates from general surgery, vascular surgery, orthopaedics, burns and plastics, ophthalmic, neurosurgery, maxillo-facial and ENT surgery. We are also pleased to welcome colleagues from emergency medicine, anaesthesia and critical care, rehabilitation medicine, nursing and professions allied to medicine.
Keynote Guthrie Lecture
Hasan B Alam is Director of the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program at Massachusetts General Hospital [MGH], Director of Research in the Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care and Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School.
We are delighted that he is able to deliver the keynote Guthrie Lecture and share with us some insights into current thinking and research in novel resuscitation.
Professor Alam is an active surgeon at the largest trauma center in the New England region with a clinical practice that spans trauma, emergency surgery and surgical critical care. He is also acknowledged as a dedicated surgical scientist, having developed a comprehensive program in trauma research at the MGH that is considered to be among the best in the world.
This program is funded by federal grants from a variety of sources, including the National Institutes of Health, and the US Department of Defense. The areas of active research in his labs include: haemorrhage control, resuscitation, post-resuscitation cellular injury, development of new resuscitation fluids, development and testing of new devices, methods to improve combat casualty care, and novel strategies for cellular preservation. |
