THE SICKEST PATIENTS, THE FIRST HOURS
ZERMATT, 5-7TH FEBRUARY 2025
THE EVENT
Welcome to the seventh edition of TBS event series.
TBS is a small and informal conference about critical care and emergency medicine. It is specifically about the first hours of managing the sickest patients. We invite the biggest names in our fields of medicine to provide state of the art teaching.
TBS is a social event. In Zermatt, speakers and guests interact seamlessly not only during the sessions but also during the evenings. Key to achieving this kind of learning, networking and discussions is to keep TBS small. Seats are limited.

LOCATION AND VENUE
Getting to Zermatt is fairly straightforward. Those of you travelling from abroad are likely to come in through Geneva or Zurich airports. From there you simply take the train, via Visp, to get to Zermatt. We recommend that you book the train tickets on-line in advance as it is cheaper.
The four-star Hotel Alex is the venue and the heart of the event. It is only a minute’s walk from the Zermatt railway station. All lecture sessions will be held in the Alex main conference facility. With the exception of the occasional off-site session, most workshops happen here as well.
PROGRAMME
We base ourselves on themed sessions in the mornings and afternoons/evenings in the Hotel Alex conference room. For a comprehensive list of our speakers please see our speakers’ list. Between sessions we have the afternoon workshops which will be announced as we get closer to the event. There is no need to sign up in advance for these. If you are alive and in Zermatt you are good to go.
As for the social programme, don’t miss the chaotic Wednesday night workshop nor the infamous cheese fondue on Thursday.
On Friday, around noon, after the final presentations, we head over to Air Zermatt helicopter base for the Mountain Rescue Workshop. After we conclude this session concludes you are welcome to join us at the nearby Cervo for the mandatory debrief/depressurisation workshop in their outdoor bar area.
