Workshop 'Innovation for Field Medicine'

Following the positive outcomes from a similar event held last year, the workshop "Innovation for Field Mediciane" will be an open forum for national representatives and medical enterprises to share information on present and future capabilities for Medical Support to Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).

Under the title “Innovation for Field Medicine” the workshop will in particular address the identification of new and advanced products and services within three main areas:

• Advancements in pre-Hospital care: Solutions, including those contracted with external providers, to grant the best possible treatment for wounded soldiers from the point of injury to the Field Hospital.
• Field Hospitals for present and future CSDP Operations: New systems to realise or provide cost-effective solutions for new generations of Field Hospitals, linked to the EDA Multinational Modular Medical Unit (M3U) Programme.
• Communication and Coordination in Medical Support: Systems and technologies to integrate all components of Medical Support, with a particular focus on Multinational Operations.
