“The 2025 conference was one of the most engaging I’ve attended in recent years. The balance of cutting-edge research, practical clinical updates, and open discussion made it incredibly valuable. I came away not only with new insights into critical care and perioperative practice, but also with a real sense of connection to colleagues across the UK and beyond.”
