Emergency care has made significant steps in developing countries over the last decade. However, this progress has not been matched in the prehospital setting. In resource-limited countries, the biggest challenge to accessing emergency care is the lack of a prehospital capacity. Unfortunately this is the setting for emergency patients across most of the world. 

The 6th Annual Alfred International Emergency Care Symposium will bring paramedics, emergency nurses and emergency doctors together to hear of the experience, evidence and recommendations of experts in the delivery of emergency care where resources and hospital capacity are limited, non-existent or a long way away.
