\"\"<\/h1><\/div>

The Queensland Trauma Symposium returns in August 2026, co-hosted by the Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital (RBWH) Trauma Service and Jamieson Trauma Institute. This event brings together clinicians, researchers, and trauma care leaders at the RBWH Education Centre for two days of multidisciplinary learning and collaboration.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s program features a full day of pre\u2011symposium workshops offering multiple specialised sessions to choose from, followed by a comprehensive, full\u2011day symposium. Together, the two components create an immersive learning experience that blends small group learning and skills development with broader discussions and presentations.<\/p>\n

This premier event is designed for health professionals across the trauma spectrum, including Pre\u2011Hospital and Retrieval Medicine, Emergency, Intensive Care, Surgery, Military and Disaster response, Nursing, Allied Health, and Research.<\/p>\n

Local and national experts will converge to share insights, challenge current thinking, and explore the evolving landscape of trauma care. Through presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, delegates will examine contemporary practice, debate emerging issues, and consider the future of trauma systems in Queensland and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Symposium event offers a valuable opportunity for trauma care providers to connect across disciplines, strengthen professional networks, and contribute to improving outcomes for injured patients throughout the state.<\/p>\n
