Nurse & Tech case presentation
Submission of Nurse/Tech case presentation
This is a new initiative welcoming Nurses/Techs working in emergency and critical care, who haven’t previously lectured at a formal conference to submit a case report for oral presentation. Through this initiative we hope to welcome new ECC nurses to the EVECC congress and the possibility of speaking at this European event. Candidates selected to present will have the opportunity to attend a zoom meeting to help them prepare for their presentation.
