Australasian Trauma Society

The Australasian Trauma Society (ATS) is a medical specialist interest group for medical and paramedical individuals working in the area of traumatic injury. It was begun in 1997 by a group of health professionals from Australia and New Zealand involved in trauma care.
Aims.
The stated aims of the ATS are:
Membership.
Membership of the Society is open to doctors, nurses and paramedical personnel from both Australia and New Zealand. Associate membership is open to others outside of those categories.
Activities.
The ATS runs an annual scientific meeting either alone or in combination with other organisations such as the Trauma Association of Canada. It also provides financial and other support for the Australasian National Trauma Registry consortium.
An annual travelling fellowship is offered to a member to allow them to further their trauma care knowledge.
The medical journal Injury is the journal for both the ATS and the British Trauma Society.
