The Australian College of Ambulance Professionals (ACAP) 2008 Conference on Pre-Hospital Emergency Care will be held at the Melbourne Convention Centre from Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 September 2008.

Held under the auspices of the ACAP, the conference is a vital and important forum for the pre-hospital emergency care and ambulance services sector.

Building on the success of the 2007 conference, the Melbourne conference promises to offer a valuable experience to all involved.

The conference aims to provide you with information on current and emerging issues in the pre-hospital emergency care environment, but also challenge your thinking in some areas of current practice.

This conference will provide delegates with a broad yet compact program whilst ensuring we achieve an excellent social program in conjunction with the conference.

The ACAP Victoria Branch in organising this conference have adopted the theme of Great Speakers, Great Venue, Great City.

We look forward to catching up with you in Melbourne in September.
