In addition there are sessions by acknowledged experts on vertigo, toxicology, microbiology and allergy, amongst others.
The 10 best abstracts submitted to the conference will be presented as oral presentations as will the 10 best posters as moderated posters. The academic programme will be completed by updates from the IAEM President, RCEM President and EMP National Clinical Lead as well as updates on the IAEM Clinical Guidelines process. The 2017 Leo Vella lecturer will be Prof. Stephen Cusack, Professor of Emergency Medicine at University College Cork.
