Emergency Medicine Symposium  2023
The inaugural Emergency Medicine Symposium 2023 was held on the beautiful island of Langkawi – Malaysia.
The intention was to provide education relevant to practising ED clinicians in a collegial format while located in a luxurious family-friendly location.
It was humbling and exciting to meet our wonderful delegates from all over Australasia, who embraced our academic content and social functions with equal vigour.
All participants learnt equally from our fantastic speakers and the frank discussions within the delegate group.
The social functions were a resounding success, with many new friendships flourishing and old ones re-igniting.
After a few years of intense work pressures, the sunset Cocktail party and Gala dinner were a well-deserved opportunity to unwind, reflect and savour this moment with friends and family.
Thank you to our delegates who made EM Symposium a resounding success. It is with great pride we are able to donate in excess of $25000 to our charity partner Palmera Projects.
We hope to see you all in 2024
