Conference Day Three
8:00 am - 9:00 am REGISTRATION AND COFFEE
9:00 am - 9:10 am CHAIRMAN'S OPENING REMARKS
9:10 am - 9:50 am OPENING KEYNOTE: AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION ON FUTURE OPERATIONS - COPING WITH THE CONTESTED THEATRE
- Supporting readiness for the USAF's medical resources ahead of future operations in a contested theatre
- Keeping MEDEVAC capability flexible enough to cope with disruptions to the patient care pathway. Stabilising and treating forward when MEDEVAC falls short
- Using airborne platforms to bring forward the delivery of clinical care
9:50 am - 10:30 am MEDEVAC IN THE COMBINED, JOINT SPACE – A BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE
- Delivering MEDEVAC capability for joint force operations in a multi-domain environment
- Carving a role for the commercial sector to support joint MEDEVAC. Outsourcing to drive up available capacity
- Re-generating capacity when MEDEVAC is limited or unavailable
- Improving interoperability for future multinational operations
10:30 am - 11:10 am FROM THEATRE TO HOSPITAL – THE FRENCH APPROACH
- Delivering the highest possible level of availability for aeromedical evacuation platforms
- Making best use of MEDEVAC platforms in the future deployed environment. Overcoming shortfalls in capability and an absence of air superiority
- Integrating the care pathway on-board. Ensuring efficient transition from battlefield to aircraft to hospital
11:10 am - 11:40 am MORNING COFFEE AND NETWORKING
11:40 am - 12:20 pm CONTINUING CLINICAL CARE IN THE AIR: EXPERIENCES FROM THE ROYAL DANISH AIR FORCE
- Integrating an Army Surgical Team with the Royal Danish Air Force's Intensive Care Unit Module to increase available surgical resource for an airborne platform
- Updating the onboard care modules to permit damage control surgery to be carried out in transit. Defining the capabilities necessary to support airborne surgery
- Setting a threshold for operating in the air. Should airborne surgery only be carried out as a last resort?
12:20 pm - 1:00 pm TREATING AND EVACUATING CASUALTIES FROM THE MARITIME THEATRE
- Delivering a high standard of pre-hospital care in the maritime environment
- Integrating aeromedical evacuation as a core component of combat casualty care
- Preparing casualties for evacuation in the maritime theatre, and supporting clinical care in the air

1:00 pm - 1:40 pm DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE IN THE AIR
- Continuing the delivery of clinical care in the air – integrating care nodes
- Supporting a smooth transition from pre-evacuation to in-transit care at a technical and tactical level
- Overcoming barriers to certification – ensuring the consistent availability of clinical capability across the continuum of care
1:40 pm - 2:00 pm Q&A SESSION: TREATMENT IN TRANSIT OR JUST TRANSIT?
- How will the demands of the future operating environment impact the ability of the joint force to conduct MEDEVAC?
- In a theatre where air superiority cannot be guaranteed and where MEDEVAC is limited, how can future deployed forces re-generate capacity and close gaps in the Operational Patient Care Pathway? Will we head back to MEDEVAC by land?
- Where can innovation support the enhanced delivery of clinical care in the air?
- What can be done to overcome barriers to force interoperability?
