Who we train

Advanced first aid providers and paramedics already familiar with structured trauma assessment. Training reflects the group’s competencies, experience and typical operational conditions.

How we train

Case discussions, practical exercises and extended scenarios. Participants assess patients, set priorities, choose care and respond to deterioration. Teamwork, evacuation preparation, care during transport and decision-focused debriefing are included.

Settings and connections

Scenarios may involve restricted access, difficult evacuation, prolonged transport and limited equipment. Training can be combined with technical, rope, search and rescue and water rescue exercises.
