The European Society of Emergency and Critical Care (EVECCS) and College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ECVECC) are inviting presenter proposals for our: annual European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Congress, that will take place in the stunning city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from the 3-6 June 2026.
The program will explore a wide range of emergency and critical care clinical issues, covered with different formats and at a variety of levels, allowing us to engage with all participants, from students to specialist clinicians and nurses. The program will also include non-clinical topics, such as non-technical and leadership skills, management, and team well-being.
Veterinarians and veterinary nurses who are interested in becoming EVECC presenters are invited to submit proposals for the following categories and target audiences:
Main stream: for general practitioners, new graduates or clinicians who have recently focused on Emergency and Critical Care (ECC);
Advanced stream: for specialists and residents in ECC and allied disciplines, interns and advanced practitioners. The lectures should provide critical and in-depth review of a topic with content predominantly derived from evidence-based literature/research/advanced clinical practice expertise. It should promote discussion at a level appropriate for an audience practising at a specialist level;
Nurse & Tech stream: targeting nurses dedicated to, or having a special interest in ECC;
Resident stream: for candidates undergoing specialist training in ECC. Lectures should address specific topics which are relevant for board exam preparation;
Non-clinical stream: including dry and wet-labs; targeted at all levels.
Proposals for innovative sessions such as debates, round tables, joint multi-disciplinary lectures and interactive lecturesare encouraged in all streams.
General guidelines for all proposal:
