IMPACT Research Engagement Events
IMPACT, The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation and Translation, host a monthly Research Engagement series brings together experts, clinicians, researchers and policy makers from around the world to explore the latest developments in post-collision care.
Each session offers an inclusive forum to share new research, discuss innovations, and exchange ideas that can improve survival recovery after road traffic collisions — with a focus on both high-income and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts.
Participation is open to everyone with an interest in post-collision research and trauma care. Presentations are designed to engage both experienced researchers and those new to the field.
All engagement events are free to attend
