#Simulation so real X labelled this post as containing graphic content 😬

Great opportunity for our #Paramedic students this week training alongside #SWAST paramedics and @GWAAC Critical care team. Specialist CPD and immersive #Simulation at its finest. #UoG @ParamedicUog @uniofglos

#STABBINGS @GWAAC have a clearly prescribed plan for this cohort of patients. Interested to see what the expectations/ current practice’s are within other UK ambulance trust, with a focus towards time on scene. Replies or DM’s welcomed. #MajorTrauma #TraumaDesk #TraumaNetwork

So excited to see our amazing level 5 OT student @HuxtableBecca a presenting alongside @em_roseuk at the @uniofglos #festivaloflearning @RCOTStudents @sorchaadunne

Here at Friendship cafe in #Gloucester celebrating 50yrs of Rising Stars youth football club. Some fantastic stories from across the years. #unreflectedreflections

Celebrating in style after a fantastic day of planning for the 2024/25 academic year. #dreamteam @esmewood1 @em_roseuk

Just 3 days to go until #Rockfall - #UoG Major incident simulation. Hundreds of students and professionals from across the university, NHS and emergency services responding to the one of the UKs largest University based exercises #sim

Did you catch us at the @gloshospitals annual #HealthcareScience careers fair? 👀 Watch to find out more about how we supported the event and discover some of the #immersive 🥽 #vr learning projects we are exploring to deliver #simulationbasedlearning @GH_apprentices

@Obidoc We always ensure that our simulation exercises prepare students for the real world challenges of practice. Our #paramedics have repeatedly trained in simulated mass casualty scenarios in an inter-disciplinary environment along side wider NHS, FRS, police and CTSFO colleagues.

What were they thinking?! #tooscary - these people are going to be paramedics 🤦‍♂️

UK & Ireland Major Trauma Haemorrhage: What Now? What Next? 12th & 13th March, Wellcome Trust, London & online Register for free here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/uk-major-tra… Critical bleeding is still the leading cause of potentially preventable deaths in major trauma patients. Despite huge improvements in overall outcomes over the past 10 years, mortality from torso haemorrhage remains very high, and over 50% in some series. This is a national (UK & Ireland) meeting to bring together all MTCs, Air ambulances and anyone interested to discuss future management, pathways and prrotocols for bleeding management. (Worldwide attendees online are very welcome) The past year has seen two major clinical trials completed across the national trauma system – UK-REBOA and CRYOSTAT2. What does data from these trials tell us about our current pathways and practices for major haemorrhage. What should happen now? What are the implications of these studies? How should we change our practice? And can we look to the future to improve our decisions, practices and outcomes? The aim of the event is to use results from the trials and other contemporaneous data to facilitate a national discussion regarding how they should be incorporated into practice in the UK. We will cover the bleeding pathway from prehospital care through to operative or interventional haemorrhage control. The event will be fully interactive, and we would really like to bring out the views and experiences of front-line clinicians and transfusion practitioners. Day 1 - “What Now?” will focus on results and additional data from the trials, to discuss the place of REBOA and cryoprecipitate in future pathways, and also how we can improve our practices for non-compressible haemorrhage, critical bleeding, resuscitation and coagulopathy management in general. Day 2 - “What next?” focuses on challenges in decision-making, and introduces the COMBAT-AID programmes work to bring AI decision support to these patients. Draft programme is available on the registration pagee. The event is funded by the NIHR HTA and the US DoD COMBAT AID programmes. , and will be intentionally interactive – we would really like to hear everyone's views, thoughts and ideas. In-person attendance is limited to just over 150 attendees, and we have reserved spaces for representatives from UK & Ireland MTCs and air ambulance services. Some 40 or so additional places are available. If you would like to join us in person then please indicate whether you would like to be present in person for one or both days. We will inform you by Tuesday 27th February if we have secured space for you. The meeting will also be livestreamed so you can also register for online access. We look forward to seeing you, in person or online, and look forward to two days of intense discussion that will translate into new approaches and guidance for our patients. Please spread the word!

Really exciting time. Registrar (ST5 or equivalent), SAS doctors, consultant colleagues who want to work for a block of time - @RetrieveSW is recruiting. See advert for more info and get in touch.

Really inspiring event for students to understand the opportunities in this specialised area of Occupational Therapy Practice @RCOTCYPFAcute @RCOTStudents @One_Glos @GlosHealthNHS @GlosAHPs @Gloshosptherapy
