If you are able to read this, it is obvious that you are not in London at  
the Third Annual meeting of the LONDON TRAUMA CONFERENCE - 2007.  You
should 
have been at this conference !!!
 
Congratulations to Dr. Karim Brohi and the members of the organizing  
committee for putting on, or participating in THREE conferences running back
to  back 
to back.    First was a special focused group on a special  area of mass 
casualty and disaster, Second is the London Trauma Conference, and  Third is
a 
tandem meeting of "1st Annual London Trauma Nursing Conference" and a
"Torso 
Trauma Masterclass."   I guess that makes FOUR  conferences.   
 
Yes, as a knowledgeable person on _Trauma-list at trauma.org_ 
(mailto:Trauma-list at trauma.org)  you should be  here.   A sizable group is
here participating in 
the many lectures and  discussions.   A great hunger and leadership for 
trauma, acute care  surgery, emergency medicine, resuscitation,
transportation 
exist in UK and  throughout Europe and the Middle East.    These conferences
are  
satisfying that need.   It is my prediction that this conference will
become 
the leading trauma conference in Europe/Middle East/North  Africa.   Already

more than 15 countries other than England have  attendees.     
 
Many pharmaceutical, device, EMS, publishing, recruiting, and other  
companies have missed the opportunity to meet the decision makers of their
respective 
hospitals.    There is a good group of exhibitors, but  it is also obvious 
that others have missed a wonderful chance.    
 
I am impressed with the STRONG movement towards an integrated trauma system

in both UK and in Europe.   Of course there are political struggles,  but 
those are being overcome.  
 
They are addressing:  
 
Quality Care
Standards of Trauma Practice
Categories of Trauma Center
Verification of commitment and resources
Certification by an appropriate agency
Trauma registry
Peer Review
Research
Education
Curriculum development
 
and many more........
 
I STRONGLY recommend that readers of this message contact Dr. Brohi to  
determine the date for next years meeting.    This will become  THE PLACE to

network as it relates to European Trauma Care.   New  horizons and standards
are 
emerging quickly.   This train is leaving  the station.   Do not let it
leave 
without you being on  board.   
 
Congratulations for a great contribution to Continuing Medical Education in

Europe.
