Pre congress courses

Dear colleagues,
The next European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery – ECTES: European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ECTES) (estes-congress.org) – will take place in Estoril from 28 to 30 April 2024. It is organised by the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES), of which the Lusitanian Association of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ALTEC) and the Portuguese Society of Surgery (SPC, through its Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Intensive Care Chapter) are Institutional Members and, in this capacity, are constituted as the National Committee (CN).

Poly Trauma Course (PTC) is an interdisciplinary course that addresses general surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic trauma surgeons, intensivists, and emergency physicians.

For the first time this year, this course is recommended as educational content by the Swiss Trauma Society (STS).

The Polytrauma Course, Lisbon, Portugal 27/04/2024 - 27/04/2024, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 7.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

The course covers the entire management of a polytraumatized patient (rescue, emergency room, ICU, ward, rehabilitation). It includes lectures, case discussions, and practical exercises, depending on the modules selected the participant. We offer a free App (both for iOS and Android), which provides an overview of scores, scales and flowsheets to help manage severely injured patients.

This year, we provide the essential modules to achieve the accredited course in a one-day program. Get prepared and join our course website and concept
