CONNECT Annual Meeting

Wednesday 25 November 2026 |Octavia House, London | Face-to-face event | RCEM accredited for 5-CPD points

Join us for the annual meeting of the RCEM CONNECT, the Collaborative National Network for Emergency Care Trials and Research, bringing together clinicians, researchers, and trainees with an interest in shaping the future of emergency care research in the UK.

The day will open with an introduction to the network — who we are, what we’re building, and how you can get involved. We’ll then look ahead to upcoming network studies, followed by presentations on studies about to launch or recently underway across emergency care.

The afternoon moves into interactive breakout sessions, where attendees can discuss emerging ideas, develop new study concepts, and connect with potential collaborators from across the UK.

Whether you’re an experienced academic or completely new to research, this meeting is your opportunity to help shape the network’s future direction and get involved in emergency care research that matters.
