2012 RDCR Symposium

The scope of the 2012 conference was broader, and thus the conference was 2 days longer. Pre-hospital management of life threatening hemorrhage was still the main focus of the conference, but we wanted to include a wider spectrum of RDCR interventions. The 2012 symposium was held at Solstrand Fjordhotel, 30 minutes outside Bergen. Both the content of the symposium and the location was a great success!
