Each year we are committed to delivering high-quality, affordable learning events to support continuous professional development for those supporting the care of trauma victims. Members of Trauma Care receive free CPD Certificates and huge discounts on ticket prices!
Trauma Care Conferences
Each year we hold two conferences: our Annual International Conference and a Regional Event. This year, we welcomed over 1000 people to the 27th Annual Trauma Care Conference, and we are looking forward to welcoming 200 people at The Leeds Trauma Care Conference, being held at Weetwood Hall in September!
Foundations in Trauma
Although we have postponed the 2025 event, so the course can undergo a major revamp, the Foundations in Trauma Course is a 2-day practical event that follows trauma patients through each stage of their journey, starting at the scene of a major incident and ending with rehabilitation. It is perfect for medical students and recent graduates.
Promoting Excellence
At the Annual International Conference, we host special guest plenary talks at the end of Tuesday and Wednesday: The Ryan Lecture and The Alexander Memorial Lecture. The Trauma Care Fellowship is also given in recognition of an individual's lifetime commitment to improving trauma care. This year's recipient was Dr. Rod Mackenzie.

Weetwood Hall, Leeds, LS16 5PS
Join us as we head to Leeds for the very first time on 4th & 5th September 2025 and hear from leading voices in trauma care, as our regional event series returns for a third year.
No matter your level of experience or qualification, this is the event for you.
Designed for all healthcare professionals across the trauma pathway, this event will cover a wide range of topics including rehabilitation, paediatric trauma and pre-hospital care. We'll also delve into more specialised areas, such as burns and musculoskeletal trauma.
Trauma Care Fellowship
Through conferences, webinars and publications, we seek to promote good practice and encourage and support all those involved in the care of trauma patients, whatever their background or specialty. However, as well as promoting good practice, we believe it is important to recognise and honour it, too.
Established in 2020, the Trauma Care Fellowship is a recognition of an exceptional lifetime contribution by an individual to improving trauma care, or for a singular act of significance within the same field. It is not limited by borders; it is intended for those whose contribution to trauma care, whether globally or nationally, has been outstanding.
Each fellow receives a bronze statuette of the Wound Man, cast for us by the distinguished bronze foundry Louis Lejeune Ltd.
The Trauma Care Fellowship 2025 was awarded to Dr Roderick MacKenzie.

The Ryan Lecture
The Ryan Lecture was established to mark the lifetime contribution to the management of victims of trauma made by Professor James “Jim” Ryan, the founding chairperson of Trauma Care. It is given annually at the Trauma Care conference by a distinguished speaker invited by the Trauma Care Council.
Professor Ryan’s long and distinguished military career ended as Colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps as Joint Professor of Military Surgery at the Royal Army Medical College, London and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. His military experience included service in Northern Ireland, Cyprus, the Falkland Islands, Nepal, the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Central Asia.
The 2025 Ryan Lecture was delivered by Dr Stephen Hearns.
