Who You'll Be In Front Of
The theme is Translational Forensics: Uniting Medicine, Nursing, Forensics, Judiciary, Police and Society, and the delegate list reflects it. Six constituencies that rarely sit in one room, all here for five days.
Medicine
Professors and heads of Forensic Medicine departments, postgraduate residents, autopsy surgeons and medical officers from medical colleges and district hospitals across every state.
Specify autopsy equipment, mortuary fit-out and departmental textbooks
Nursing
Nursing faculty, administrators and students, attending through our collaboration with the Trained Nurses' Association of India, Uttarakhand State Branch. Nursing delegates attend on 4 February.
Influence hospital protocols and nursing curricula
Forensic science
Scientists from state and central forensic science laboratories — toxicology, serology, DNA and questioned documents — alongside academic forensic scientists.
Specify laboratory instrumentation, reagents and consumables
Judiciary
Judicial officers, public prosecutors and legal academics engaging with medical evidence, expert testimony and the courtroom use of forensic findings.
Shape evidentiary standards and expert practice
Police
Investigating officers, police surgeons and scene-of-crime personnel, plus those responsible for investigator training within state police organisations.
Procure scene-of-crime kits and investigation technology
Society
Public health professionals, medico-legal NGOs, ethicists and press covering the intersection of medicine, law and public interest.
Carry the conference into wider circulation
Skill labs on 2 and 3 February draw a smaller, self-selecting group who have paid extra to attend — hands-on sessions in medical certification of cause of death, virtual autopsy, simulation, forensic photography and AI in forensics. These are the delegates most likely to specify equipment.
