Past event: Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery Conference 2024

Developing Medical Support for Tomorrow's Battle

The Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery conference is Europe's leading conference dedicated to deployed medical care. The 2024 conference will return to the Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, 13-14th of March.

The importance of addressing military medical capability is increasingly relevant within the context of attritional warfare with mass casualties. The 2024 conference will explore the integration of new solutions into mass casualty evacuation, technology allowing medical expertise to be deployed quickly, and the engagement of industry to address new gaps in military medicine.

Join us at Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery 2024 to engage with military medical personnel operating at a tactical and strategic level who are looking to meet with allies and industry experts to share knowledge and collaborate on issues regarding the development of capability across the operational patient care pathway.

Why attend Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery?

  • Understand new training requirements to integrate medical needs into battlegroup-level planning
  • Detect and treat new injuries and illnesses, minimising casualty rates in new hostile environments
  • Join the discussions to accelerate research into blood-warming and synthetic blood to allow for its quick usage
  • Optimise medical logistics channels to ensure that medical healthcare can be delivered rapidly

The event has been valuable in providing me with perspective and insights on military medical capability. It also provide useful reflections on the lessons learnt from the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war
