About MASCAL 2027
Mass casualty medicine spans clinical care, emergency response, preparedness, system design and recovery. MASCAL 2027 will bring together professionals and organisations from across the complete care pathway - from point of injury through definitive care to rehabilitation.
Over two days, the conference will create a new cross-specialty, cross organisation forum to share learning, challenge established approaches and strengthen the relationships needed to deliver effective care when normal systems are under exceptional pressure.
The ambition is simple: to break down silos and bring the people responsible for preparedness, response, treatment, recovery and rehabilitation into one conversation.
Be part of the conversation. Help shape how we prepare for and deliver care at scale.

Explore current and emerging approaches to preparedness, response and care at scale.
Share learning across specialties, services and organisations.
Challenge established approaches and consider how systems can work better together.
Build relationships with colleagues responsible for response, treatment, recovery and rehabilitation.
Programme
The two day programme will follow the mass casualty pathway, bringing together clinical, operational and system perspectives and creating space for multidisciplinary discussion.
