HELLO.
Welcome to the TIN website
​
The inspiration for the TIN meeting came from Dr Sean McManus when he travelled south from Cairns to work at The Townsville Hospital. The inaugural meeting (TIN TIM) was held in 2013 and it's been going strong every two years since.
​
The TIN meeting is designed for clinicians from Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Darwin. Speakers are sourced primarily from these hospitals but we also attract speakers from the less tropical climes of New Zealand and other parts of Australia. Previous meetings have been fortunate to host prominent clinicians such as paediatric intensivists A/Prof Bruce Lister and Dr Brent McSharry, and CICM Presidents A/Prof Charlie Corke and Dr Rob Bevan.
​
Each meeting has a designated theme to which, in keeping with the casual nature of the region, we do not rigidly adhere. This year the theme is: Pushing the envelope - movers and shakers in the ICU.
​
The venue usually alternates between a location near Townsville and Cairns however in 2025 we are exploring the beautiful Whitsundays Islands, specifically the stylish yacht club on Hamilton Island.
