In view of the difficulties we have been having with the updating of the CSP sites, and therefore access to the conference information, the BACPAR exec committee have decided to extend the early bird rate until the 30th September.

Please see the link to this manual which has been developed in collaboration with several CSP professional networks -  including BACPAR - to support volunteers on the UK International Emergency Trauma Register (UKIETR) but with the aim of being relevant to all rehabilitation professionals interested in rapid deployment to austere environments. The content has been reviewed by a group of humanitarian medical and rehabilitation professionals.
