The workshop included clinical skill stations demonstrating airway management, vascular access, long bone, pelvis & spine stabilization, needle decompression & ICD Insertion and FAST imaging. The delegates also participated in an immersive trauma simulation scenario with reflective debriefing aimed at emphasizing the best practice principles of trauma management as a competent member of a Trauma team. The modalities of simulation based training employed were Task Trainers & High Fidelity Human Patient Simulators.
The feedback received was very positive and the faculty and centre infrastructure was well appreciated by the delegates.
