The weekend will consist of small group interactive workshops, (max 6), with practical sessions and moulages (clinical scenarios using a manikin and all relevant medical equipment) and lectures. The learning is interactive, experiential and dynamic.

The topics and practical workshops covered over the weekend will include basic trauma care such as simple fracture reduction, basic splinting, ring blocks, suturing, wound dressings, burns, minor injuries; major trauma care such as detailed primary survey, airway management (including use of iGELS), chest injury management, haemorrhage control including pelvic and long bone fracture management, permissive hypotensive fluid management, head injuries; and assessment and management of medical emergencies such as the treatment of the severe asthmatic, anaphylaxis, seizures, myocardial infarction, sepsis, heat illness - all in the pre-hospital and remote environment setting (i.e. learning how to optimise care prior to a patient getting access to hospital).

This will be delivered by experienced pre-hospital Emergency and Anaesthetic practitioners.
