After the success of the first Regional Critical Care Conference in 2015, we are excited that with the support of excellent presenters and our trade exhibitors we will build this into the finest critical care conference offered in regional Australia. The theme of the conference this year is, Timing is Everything: Early Interventions in Critical Illness. A theme based on the importance of timing will focus on life and limb saving support and interventions that provide the best patient outcomes. We sincerely hope you can join us for this innovative and exciting conference.

ABOUT:

THE CONFERENCE


In June 2016, Bendigo Health will stage the second Regional Critical Care Conference. The two day conference will feature keynotes speakers, plenary and concurrent sessions, free papers, workshops and a conference dinner. A fundamental principle of critical care is to provide timely interventions.

The theme of the 2016 conference reflects this critical factor - Timing is Everything: Early Interventions in Critical Illness. Sessions topics include sepsis, trauma, neurology, resuscitation, paediatrics and much more.

Catering will be provided amongst the trade exhibition in the spacious Banquet Room in The Capital Theatre complex. This will encourage interaction between exhibitors and delegates. Advertising will be extensive and will include members of the Australian College of Critical Care Nurses, the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society as well as Victorian public and private healthcare organisations providing critical care services.

To ensure a diverse and extensive audience is approached, hospitals in southern New South Wales will also be directly contacted.
