Day 1 – Frontline Medicine & Emerging Challenges
The event opens with a look at how frontline military and civilian emergency medicine increasingly intersect, and why cross-sector collaboration is essential in a rapidly changing world.
A major plenary explores advances in prehospital care at the extremes—ranging from traumatic cardiac arrest management to preparing clinicians for rare events, delivering complex interventions at the roadside, and working in remote or austere locations.
Interactive workshops follow, focusing on disaster medicine, mass-casualty triage, and global WHO training approaches.
The afternoon closes with a keynote examining the psychological impact of conflict, terrorism, and targeted violence on health-care professionals.
Day 2 – Global, Civil–Military & Future-Focused
The second day begins with a keynote on civil–military cooperation in managing mass-casualty incidents, addressing how health systems can prepare for surges of conflict-related casualties.
A global plenary reviews lessons from recent disasters and humanitarian crises, international coordination mechanisms, and the growing role of large-scale simulation.
The programme continues with a dedicated session on 21st-century CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) threats—population preparedness, emerging biological risks, and frontline detection.
A major late-morning plenary highlights what every emergency physician should know about modern military medicine, including blast injuries, lessons from recent conflicts, and delivering care in hostile environments.
After lunch, participants can choose from hands-on workshops such as tactical casualty care training, CBRN response simulation, and other practical skill-building sessions.
The event concludes with a round-table discussion on the future of disaster medicine—research priorities, cross-border collaboration, and training needs leading up to 2030—followed by a closing ceremony and certification.
