On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to announce that the annual Scientific Symposium on Emergency Medicine (SSEM) 2025, with the theme "Emergency Trauma Management: Insights and Developments," will be held on 25 October 2025 at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building.

SSEM has become a signature event for Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine, bringing together healthcare practitioners, researchers and students to exchange knowledge, best practices, and new ideas. The conference provides an opportunity for participants to learn from experts in the field, network with peers, and stay up to date on the latest developments and innovations in emergency medicine.

SSEM 2025 is supported by a number of renowned organizations in the field of emergency medicine, including Hong Kong Society for Emergency Medicine and Surgery, Hong Kong College of Emergency Nursing and Hong Kong Emergency Nurses Association. With their support, the conference will provide an engaging experience for all attendees. The scientific subcommittee has assembled a diverse program covering a broad range of topics in emergency medicine. Beyond the main conference, SSEM 2025 also features a variety of pre-conference workshops, where participants can hone their skills and deepen their knowledge. Additionally, the conference will host the SimWars 2025 and POCUS Olympic 2025, an exciting competition where teams of healthcare providers demonstrate their clinical prowess in simulated patient scenarios.

We are confident that SSEM 2025 will provide a meaningful and enriching experience for all participants, and we look forward to welcoming you for this exciting event.
