Looking forward to speaking at and listening to this conference. Exciting talks from across the world of pre hospital critical care. Lots to learn from each other.
Thanks to Bristol Airport and Jet 2 for putting on a magical Santa Flight this week and including our families impacted by trauma.
And thanks to Santa for finding us in the air!
