    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.
