Selected Abstracts from the 4th International Meeting of the Society of Acute Medicine

7th-8th October 2010, Edinburgh International Conference Centre

Delegates at the 4th International conference of the Society for Acute Medicine in October were treated to some un-seasonal sunshine, as well as a programme of exceptional quality. More than 200 abstracts were submitted for consideration of inclusion; 6 were selected for oral presentation and 130 posters were displayed. The oral presentation abstracts and those from the 3 prize-winning posters are included here.

Following the success of these sessions the Society plans to include a poster display at next Spring’s meeting in the Bristol Marriott hotel, on 5-6th May, and there will also be an oral presentation session for those selected. Submissions are invited for inclusion via the SAM website: www.acutemedicine.org.uk
