NEPTUNE (National Emergency Paediatric Trauma Update and NEtworking)

A well-choreographed trauma call can be a thing of beauty and each individual player is critical to ensuring the best possible patient outcomes. Therefore, NEPTUNE seeks to represent and welcome contributors and delegates from across the multi-disciplinary team. With a range of topics, discussions and activities, it will be relevant to healthcare workers involved at all stages of the journey of the paediatric patient with minor and major trauma, including nurses, ENPs, ACPs, CNSs, doctors and allied healthcare professionals. Those aspiring to a career in paediatric trauma are also encouraged to attend.

The NEPTUNE conference has a focus on the emergency department care of the paediatric trauma patient. We know that a large proportion of paediatric trauma presents to local departments and trauma units so this conference will be relevant not just to those working in paediatric major trauma centres but also clinicians who may find themselves unexpectedly caring for paediatric trauma patients
