Surgical: Trauma Conference Chair

Hi everyone, my name is Prav and I’m running to be your next Trauma Chair. With the 20th anniversary coming up, I am excited to take this opportunity not only to build upon the excellent work of previous years but look to revamp and provide a new angle to this year’s conference.

Having served as Personnel Officer in last year's Trauma Subcommittee, as well as providing on-the-day logistical support for both OSD and PSD this year, I am well-versed in dealing with the challenges of running large-scale surgical conferences. Additionally, my experience as current Academic Representative for the Management iBSc cohort and Vice-captain of the ICUCC 1st XI, has strengthened my leadership and organisational skills, putting me in good stead to oversee a large committee and deliver a great conference this year!

My key areas of focus for Trauma 2025 are:

  • Expanding hands-on and immersive workshops
    • Introduce a live trauma simulation workshop and varied selection of wet workshops ensuring a more engaging and valuable experience for attendees
  • Establishing more creative and regular content release
    • A structured and engaging marketing campaign featuring trailer videos, educational tidbits, BTS content and Trauma TV will boost ticket sales and the overall impression of the conference for future years
  • Integrating technology to improve attendee experience
    • Through the creation of a new dedicated conference website with FAQs, digital registration and real-time feedback,

Thank you for your support - I am excited to start working on bringing this vision to life!
