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.

We are encouraging submissions from the following areas:
~ Traumatic Brain & Spinal Injuries ~

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