September 5th – 6th , Rome

Dear All,

the “7th ITALIAN GREAT NETWORK CONGRESS” – Focus on

innovations and translational research in Emergency Medicine” will be

held from 5th to 6th September 2016 in Rome.

Last year during the GREAT Italy - MEMC joint congress we had

more than 1.200 attendees and we are sure that this year the GREAT

Italy Congress will obtain the same interest.

The main objective of our team is to let the experts in the field of

Acute Diseases networking with the concept of Translational

Medicine, integrating basic and clinical research inputs to optimize

both patient and preventive care and to actively participate to the

innovative processes in the field of Emergency Medicine.

As for the past also this year we will have a scientific program of the

highest quality with outstanding speakers from the 78 GREAT

Network countries debating on the newest issues and solutions in

Critical Care Medicine.

In this attempt we will dedicate, in the 2016 Edition, a particular

attention to Maxi-emergencies, Telemedicine, Point of care

technology and Biomarkers utility in the Emergency Room.



Moreover new perspective in Educational processes in Emergency

Medicine will be organized in a Joint meeting with AAEM, the

American Academy of Emergency Medicine, and discussed with

worldwide Academic Leaders.

We expect an important number of abstracts submission from young

Fellows, and, as usual, we will award the best researches with the

possibility that their submissions would be selected to be published in

impacted journals.

This year, because of the Jubilee in Rome, it would be an unique

occasion to visit the beauty of the Eternal City.

On behalf of the GREAT Network I’m pleased to invite you all to

participate in the 7th ITALIAN GREAT NETWORK CONGRESS and

enjoy the beauties of Rome.
