This practical, scenario based course affords candidates the opportunity to practice skills and contextualise theory in realistic situations.
The two-day (16 hour) course draws on the most recent peer-reviewed evidence for the initial treatment of ballistic injuries in high-hazard areas. As such, some protocols would not be appropriate in an urban setting.
Course content is based on current guidelines published by:
UK Resuscitation Council
National Institute of Clinical Healthcare Excellence
Joint Royal College of Ambulances Liaison Committee
Royal College of Surgeons Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care
Wilderness Medical Society
currently accepted guidance and best-practice from advisory bodies and published evidence for the treatment of Ballistic injuries.
