About the Course
This in-house trauma course was developed to reflect the complexity of trauma patient care within the Emergency Department (ED) in a way that matches how 21st century nurses learn and attain knowledge. It is underpinned by current trauma care principles, NICE guidelines, and TQUiN competencies. The course combines practical teaching sessions, workshops, simulation training and non-technical skills.
Band 5 and 6 nurses who are new to the Emergency Department (ED) are eligible to attend the course, along with medical and nursing students wishing to advance their career within emergency medicine. This course will provide all the basic trauma skills required of nurses, AHP and medical students, experiencing trauma care for the first time.
