The ANZTS Board are delighted to share the the Gordon Trinca Lectureship has been awarded to Professor Michael Reade AM.

The Gordon Trinca lectureship is a prestigious honour that commemorates the work of Mr Gordon Trinca FRACS.  As a trauma surgeon, Mr Trinca’s distinguished career involved not only the management of trauma, but also the prevention of road trauma and trauma education. He was instrumental in the introduction of the Early Management of Severe Trauma Program, the promotion of seatbelt wearing and the development and implementation of drink driving countermeasures.

This invited lectureship provides the Australian & New Zealand Trauma Society with the ability to recognise the significant contribution made by clinicians in the field of trauma through education and teaching.

The lecture topic is: “ ‘Why don’t they just follow the guideline?’ The value of team identity in implementation science’
