On behalf of the Organising Committee, I would like to invite abstract submissions for presentation at the National Trauma Symposium 2021 to be held at Te Papa, Wellington, NZ on Thursday 1 July 2021.
 
Our programme will include scientific presentation and debate of the highest level and will attract a wide variety of trauma practitioners from across New Zealand. It represents an excellent forum for presentation of your research and as organisers we strongly support this opportunity for you to share your knowledge and ideas with a wider audience. 

We look forward to receiving your submissions and joining us as part of this exciting conference in 2021.
