  • Invest Liverpool 2020 a Message from the Mayor
    INVEST LIVERPOOL 2020 A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Liverpool really is a city on the move. Its diverse and vibrant population of 234,246 people is growing with 60 new residents every week (100 per week prior to COVID-19), driving a boom in residential construction and retail. The new airport sits entirely within our Local Government Area, as does most of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis – which will become a thriving economic hub delivering new jobs, homes, infrastructure and services in the heart of Western Sydney. The Federal Government company created to build and run Western Sydney International Airport operates from the centre of our city. This has consolidated Liverpool as the place to be for anyone who wants to do business with the airport. MAJOR In the heart of our city we have a thriving health, education and research precinct. Medical professionals are using the latest technology to provide high-standard health care while researchers develop tomorrow’s medical equipment and techniques. Our three universities are producing highly INFRASTRUCTURE skilled and qualified workers of the future. We have strong roots in manufacturing, with the sector developing an emphasis on advanced manufacturing and logistics. Health, wholesale IN LIVERPOOL trade, transport, education and construction also play a vital role in the City’s economy. Situated at the nexus of what are already some of NSW’s biggest roads and rail lines, Liverpool’s connectivity is only going to increase as Western Sydney Airport and supporting infrastructure are built. Liverpool City Council sees the great potential in our city and is working hard to see that potential realised, but we’re not the only ones.

  • Trauma Conference 29 – 30 July 2016 Scientific Program
    SWAN 24 TRAUMA CONFERENCE 29 – 30 JULY 2016 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM 0 Dear Colleagues, It is with very great pleasure that we once again welcome you to the 24th SWAN Trauma Conference. With another world renowned international faculty from Norway, Canada, Colombia, Estonia and New Zealand and our own national experts in trauma care, this conference promises to be a superb mix of lectures, great debates, interactive case scenarios, key note speeches and Q and A sessions. Our regular SWAN delegates will see that we have undergone some changes in particular with the program and website. This year we have expanded the program with multiple concurrent sessions which gives you the chance to pick and choose what particularly interests you or you may have expertise in. Of course there will still be the major plenary sessions for all to attend and we have brought back our free paper session for all to have a chance at presenting their work and research. This year we will examine quality in trauma care as well as have heated discussions on the controversies and complexities of trauma diagnosis and management including the problems of managing the extremes of age. Our very popular annual great debate will again entertain and provoke and our real life case scenarios will continue to generate great dispute, deliberation and discourse. We will move from the resuscitation room to the intensive care unit and finally to the operating room discussing various demanding aspects of caring for the multiply injured patient. We will also have a session that moves us away from Level one centre care to the rural setting which presents its own enormous challenges.
