Wildfires, extreme weather, industrial incidents, cyber disruption and evolving security threats are placing unprecedented demands on emergency services and operators of critical infrastructure. As the risks change, so too must the way organisations prepare, respond and recover.

In this conversation, Dräger's Atlanta Taylor and Matt Evans explore what national resilience really means in practice from a strategic partner perspective, why prevention and preparedness is just as important as emergency response and how stronger partnerships between government, emergency services and industry can improve operational continuity when it matters most.

In this session, Bio-Circle explores the latest approaches to decontaminating breathing apparatus, masks, boots and other firefighting equipment, drawing on experience with military and fire services across Denmark and Scandinavia.

Paul Owen and Palle Pedersen will look at what good decontamination practice looks like in the real world, the lessons learned from years of operational use and how new technologies and chemistries can help services improve cleanliness, protect firefighters and work more sustainably.

With Bio-Circle's decontamination systems launching in the UK at The Emergency Services Show, the session will also explore what UK services can learn from established Scandinavian practice and what to consider when reviewing their own processes.

Police Scotland is transforming its critical communications infrastructure, moving away from legacy telephony towards a resilient, cloud-based approach.

In this session, Police Scotland and Cinos will explore what drove the transformation, how it was delivered at national scale and what the organisation’s experience can teach other emergency services looking to modernise critical communications.

AI is dominating conversations across policing, but many organisations risk overlooking the foundations needed to make it successful.

In this session, Carl Drinkwater, National RPA Programme Director and Andy Wadsworth from Morson Group explore how intelligent automation is already transforming policing through the National RPA Programme, reducing administrative burden, improving consistency and creating more time for frontline policing.

Cardiac emergencies demand rapid, informed decision-making where seconds can make a difference. Yet important diagnostic findings may not always be visible on a standard 12 lead ECG, and pauses in chest compressions during resuscitation can negatively impact patient outcomes. The Clinical advances in Emergency Care presentation focuses on technologies designed to help clinicians address both challenges.

In this session, Stryker explores how 15 lead ECG acquisition can support more comprehensive cardiac assessment by incorporating right-sided and posterior leads, helping clinicians identify information that may not be apparent on a conventional 12 lead ECG. We will also examine STJ Insight, a graphical approach to visualising ST-segment changes designed to support interpretation of ECG findings.

The session will also explore the importance of maintaining high-quality CPR and minimising interruptions during resuscitation. Attendees will learn how cprINSIGHT™ technology analyses ECG rhythms during ongoing chest compressions, supporting rhythm assessment while reducing pauses that can affect coronary perfusion and chest compression fraction.

Join us to discuss how advances in ECG assessment and resuscitation technology are helping emergency care professionals make more informed clinical decisions, maintain CPR quality and support patient care when every second counts.

Firefighter PPE is evolving, but how can fire services balance protection, comfort and performance without compromise? As new materials and garment technologies enter the UK market through the NFCC framework, there is an opportunity to rethink what frontline crews should expect from their kit.

In this session, Sioen Fire and Europrotect explore the innovations shaping the next generation of structural firefighting PPE, drawing on experience from across Europe. Discover how advances in fabrics and garment design are helping improve protection, comfort and wearability and what these developments could mean for UK fire services.
