13th Swiss Trauma & Acute Care Surgery Days 2024
To err is human - the importance of working together!
Ladies and Gentlemen
On March 14-15, 2024 the 13th STACS Days will be held at the Inselspital, Bern University Hospital.
In Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, time is of the essence and descisions must be made under pressure. This creates the potential for errors that are inherent in the nature of these patients. It is important to learn from each other and to discusss these challenges.
At the 13th STACS Days, national and international experts will present the latest evidence in trauma care, resuscitation and non-trauma emergency surgery.
You will have the opportunity to submit scientific abstracts in the field of trauma care, Resuscitation, and Acute Care Surgery. An international review board will select five abstracts that will be presented in plenary Session 4, March 17, 2023. An award of CHF 1000.- will be granted for the best scientific abstract by SwissACS.
As every year, we would like to encourage you to attend our Eat, Meet, and Greet event at the Schweizerhof Hotel, March 14, 2024, 18:00-23:00.
We are looking forward to see you at the 13th STACS Days!
Best regards,
Your STACS Organizing Committee
