Join us for the 1st SSMC Burns Centre of Excellence Symposium on Saturday 1st November 2025, to be held
at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), Abu Dhabi.
The Symposium combines concepts from around the world to achieve excellence in burn care, raise
awareness of the unique needs of burn patients and building collaboration in the UAE and region.
Our theme ‘Excellence in Burns’ will provide a platform for clinicians to share their knowledge in the
field. This symposium will provide an opportunity for healthcare professionals to learn more about burns
in the region, while networking with other burn providers. Whether you are a seasoned professional in

of interest to all multidisciplinary professionals.
In addition, you will have the chance to submit your research and engage with researchers and explore
