We extend our warm invitation to all Doctors, Nurses, other Health Care Professionals and students to participate in the event, as we believe that a diverse presence would greatly enrich the discussions and insights shared.

 

The central theme of this year's conference is "LIFE - Beyond the Resus Room," delving into the challenges encountered by healthcare practitioners in high-stress environments, where critical decisions are a constant demand.

Key topics include the prevention of moral injury, PTSD, burnout, and the management of acute stressors.
