Dr Miles Callahan
Orthopaedic Surgeon (Australia)
"I wanted to share my positive experiences attending several AMPED conferences in both the Maldives and Japan. Over the years, I have consistently found them to be highly enjoyable and academically enriching. What truly stands out about these conferences is their dedication to bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, encompassing not only Emergency Medicine specialists but also professionals from other medical and allied health fields. I also want to highlight the emphasis on networking. Through these events, I've been able to establish valuable and ongoing clinical relationships with experts in various areas. [...] I wholeheartedly recommend the format of AMPED conferences."
Dr Mark Gillett
Associate Professor, University of Sydney; Director Emergency Research, Royal North Shore Hospital (Australia)
"Thanks, AMPED for a fantastic conference in the Maldives. As a doctor who works both as a GP and in an emergency department, the multi topic approach to both General Practice topics (such as nutrition and healthy eating) and Emergency Medicine topics (antibiotic use in resistant infections) was valuable. The relaxed and informal atmosphere encouraged discussion, and it was encouraging to meet and learn from doctors in other parts of the world (eg. Germany and South Africa) about their approaches to common presentations. The beautiful location with lots of children friendly activities made it a perfect family holiday as well."
Dr Maleika Selwyn
GP and Emergency Department Doctor
"Each conference might have its own location nuances, but they all have the same feel due to the fantastic cohort of attendees that they attract. Why do they come? Because they are a complete experience. Not only delegates but families and friends want to return for a week where the real world takes a back step and people meet, exchange experiences, thoughts and ideas while relentlessly smiling. [...] This all leads to one thing and that is the opportunity to meet great people. On a professional level, one delegate summed it up: “I have 12 phone numbers that I can call for their expertise and opinion, that wouldn’t be there if I hadn’t come to these conferences”. [...] And as for myself? I go, listen, learn and laugh…each in very good measure."

"I have been in clinical practice for more than 45 years [...] I have lost count of the number of conferences I have attended over the years but for more than twenty years I have been attending at least one AMPED conference every year and wouldn’t miss it. I have found the multidisciplinary format of these meetings to be of enormous value. The calibre of the participants and of the presentations is remarkably high and the broad range of disciplines represented has provided me with insights into areas of health care or research outside of my own area of expertise. I don’t know of any other conference quite like this and I always find the experience enriching and enormously enjoyable. The conferences are well organised, and the venues are excellent. The atmosphere is collegiate and relaxed. I have developed a number of important on-going professional relationships as a result of my participation in AMPED conferences."
