FLTR:ED 2026

The inaugural FLTR:ED conference has wrapped up for 2026!

Bringing together more than 120 clinicians from Australia, New Zealand, Europe and across the Pacific for 3-days of high-impact medical education, collaboration and connection.

With an outstanding faculty of Emergency Medicine and Critical Care specialists, alongside experts in Cardiology, Radiology, Surgery and Paediatrics, the programme delivered fresh perspectives and practical insights.

Most importantly, almost one in four delegates were Fijian doctors and nurses, representing Fiji's three divisional Emergency Departments - it was a privilege to learn alongside them and share their insights into Emergency Care in the Pacifics.

The energy was exceptional, the engagement was inspiring and everyone left re-energised and keen to continue enhancing patient care across the region.

If you would like to view all of our 2026 conference content and see our phenomenal speakers in action, you can still sign up for Virtual Registration. This enables access to all of FLTR:ED's recorded presentations and workshops along with the associated ACEM CPD hours.
