We’re excited to share details of the upcoming British Trauma Society Annual Scientific Meeting 2025, taking place on 19–20 November at the University of Edinburgh.

The programme brings together leading specialists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals from across the UK and beyond. Hosted in collaboration with the Scottish Trauma Network, the conference will showcase cutting-edge research, innovative techniques, and the latest advances in trauma management and treatment.

Highlights include:

• Keynote presentations from renowned experts in trauma care
• Pre-conference workshops (18 November) – Surgical and Emergency Trauma Skills Course and a Medicolegal Masterclass
• Networking opportunities including the conference dinner on Wednesday 19 November

This marks the first time the conference has been held in Scotland, with several speakers from the Scottish Trauma Network featuring in the programme (to be shared soon).

The conference is open to all professionals working in trauma, from ED and orthopaedics to nursing teams and AHPs. We’d love to see strong representation from the STN—whether attending, submitting abstracts, or sharing the opportunity with colleagues.

Discounted rates are available for BTS members and group bookings.

We hope to see you there.
