>> The Extremes of Defence Medical Capability - 23 April 2012 - Birmingham
This CDE call for research proposals will be focussed on both novel approaches to bespoke military needs and the translation of civilian medical systems into the military environment. Two of the priorities for Defence medicine lie at opposite ends of the spectrum of medical care: maintaining the effectiveness of deployed forces in extreme environments, and providing rehabilitative support to injured personnel who have sacrificed their safety in the call of duty. This call will be launched with a seminar at the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on 23 April 2012. This call closes on Thursday 31 May 2012 at 1200 noon.
