Trauma and Emergency Care Studies

Welcome to the 13th European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery!For months a lot of work has been invested into this congress.The first preparations even started 2 years ago.Since, the whole body of the congress has taken shape and we are happy now to welcome you to this unique congress in Switzerland with the motto ''many ways-one goal'':Apart from the quite wellknown instructional lectures courses and the keynotes with the free communications, the 12-to-12 lectures at noontime, having been organized in the Milano Congress for the first time, promise very pragmatic, dogmatic, short lectures from a very international faculty.Furthermore, ''How I do it'' sessions early in the morning will explain the very practical and personal attitude of wellknown speakers to several topics of the five sections of ESTES.Guest symposia of AOTrauma, Efort, Efost, SGC, SGOT, SOFCOT, EBJIS await you with topics and speakers, that will enrich the scientific programme.For the first time in the history of the ESTES Congress we organized special sessions dedicated to the paramedics and the operating room personal (ORP) on Monday, respectively Tuesday.The nurses will have a workshop on internal fixation of fractures with practical exercises on Monday.So-called curtain-up sessions will shed light on the International committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with its headquarter in Geneva/Switzerland (Sunday).The university of Basel, the oldest one in Switzerland, will present itself with a very special programme (Monday) and the trauma scene in countries like China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and India will be explained and demonstrated on Tuesday.ECTES 2012 will really be an international meeting with a faculty from all over the world.''A congress is meant to be more than just a textbook, a congress is meant to be communication, a presentation of personal opinions and personal results and a start to animated discussions about new findings and new solutions to everyday's and extraordinary problems'' (2nd announcement).And we also promised that this ''congress is meant to be more than just a congress''!This congress will also live from the place, where it is taking place: Basel, the modern and old town, the town, where carneval is ''the three most beautiful days of the year'', a town, where people live for their football team (the Swiss evening is going to take place in the football stadium of this very club), a town, where modern art, urban lifestyle and commerce meet.We will meet the alphorn player Eliana Burki with her group, George Gruntz, the grand old man of jazz music, Max La ¨sser and his Ueberlandorchestra with its traditional swiss dance music in its todayversion the famous Carneval Clique ''Bajass'' from Basel and further surprise acts.Don't miss ECTES 2012 in Basel.Enjoy 3 days rich in medical and surgical science and art.Concerning art, some wise traumaman said some time ago ''nailing is a technique, plating is an art''-listen to both, listen to many other things and decide for yourself, what's best for your patient, as there are ''many ways, but just one goal''.
