A wonderful weekend full of learning and laughter surrounded by such dedicated and motivated clinicians. So incredibly proud to pass my IC process and get my faculty badge 🥰🚑🚁 @ATACCGroup

Day 3 of the ATACC course - and what a way to finish.  Delayed post - the pace and intensity of the final day meant we were completely immersed from beginning to end. The final day brought everything together. Candidates applied the knowledge, decision-making and team communication developed over the previous days to manage complex, high-pressure scenarios. The level of focus and collaboration on display was outstanding.  ATACC isn’t just about learning new skills – it’s about integrating them under pressure, working as a team, and delivering the best possible care in the most challenging environments.  A huge well done to all of the candidates for their dedication and resilience throughout the course, and thank you to the faculty who bring their experience and passion to every ATACC course!  Last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to our Ops Team, LAB Team, SFX Team, and of course our actors. This course simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible work you all put in 👏 Roll on May! #ATACC #CriticalCare #PrehospitalCare #MedicalTraining #TraumaCare

@ATACCGroup This was a first for #ATACC and #TBS and we were delighted that both the delegates and the world leading resuscitationists all embraced the concept to make it such a huge success! #cardiacarrest #beyondALS ##ECMO

🏔️ TBS 2026 🏔️ The resuscitate tour brought together like-minded clinicians in an incredible setting, visiting locations across the region while hearing from world-leading experts in resuscitation 🖤 From key challenges and favourite subjects to honest reflections on frustrations in practice, the conversations were thought-provoking, inspiring, and refreshingly real. The event truly captured everything we love about TBS - cutting-edge medicine, brilliant minds, and meaningful discussion in a relaxed, social environment. Few experiences compare to learning and being inspired in such outstanding company, in a place as remarkable as Zermatt ❄️ To learn more about our Resuscitation Series - Please click the below link 👇 f.mtr.cool/oppapbfeuo #TBS #Resuscitation #MedicalEducation #EmergencyMedicine #CriticalCare #LifelongLearning #HealthcareProfessionals #ClinicalExcellence #Zermatt TBS26

Meeting of the Minds in Zermatt . @HawkmoonHEMS & I. We have done this every year or two since 2013. Through social media and conferences such as SMACC, ATACC and @TBS_Zermatt .. the world has become incredibly smaller

Another outstanding week of training at ATACC Group. We’ve just completed our Tactical Medical Planning Course, followed immediately by our CBRNE Medical Response Course - a powerful combination that bridges strategy, planning, and operational delivery. Our Tactical Medical Planning framework continues to prove its value. It provides a structured, practical approach to developing medical support plans that are adaptable, threat-informed, and operationally grounded. Delegates leave with a clear methodology they can take back to their organisations - enhancing capability, governance, and real-world readiness. Taking that foundation straight into our CBRNE Medical Response Course allows participants to apply planning principles in high-fidelity, immersive simulation. This course is specifically designed to complement existing organisational CBRNE training by introducing complex, realistic scenarios rooted in criminality and terrorism within the civilian environment. This is training for reality. Beyond the core foundations of CBRNE response, we focus heavily on: • Decision making under pressure • Critical thinking in dynamic environments • Tactical awareness and threat-informed practice • Multi-agency interoperability • Leadership in uncertainty Our approach ensures clinicians and operational teams are not just technically competent - but operationally capable. Thank you to all the professionals who trained with us this week. The standard was exceptional. #ATACCGroup #TacticalMedicine #MedicalPlanning #CBRNE #CBRNEMedical #TrainingForReality #OperationalMedicine #DecisionMaking #CriticalThinking #TacticalAwareness #Interoperability #EmergencyPreparedness #CounterTerrorism #PrehospitalCare

🎙️ New BASICS Podcast Episode from @stemlyns ! Last October at our Pre-Hospital Care Conference, we were joined by the brilliant @NigelRuddell - keynote speaker, long-time supporter, and one of our trusted instructors on the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Course (PHEC). St Emlyn’s recorded a fantastic episode with Nigel live at the event, diving into building HEMS in Northern Ireland. If you missed the session (or want to relive it!), now’s your chance: 👉 Listen here: open.spotify.com/show/56ezbbVLN… 🎟️ And great news… tickets for this year’s conference are launching in the coming days!

Two new sources added to foamcortex.com Thanks to: @stemlyns and @emupdates

At #Incrementum2026, Dr. @_NMay tackles one of the toughest calls in emergency medicine: when to stop pediatric resuscitation. Objective criteria, team communication, common biases, and special scenarios—this session is essential for leading with both science and compassion.

The final @stemlyns ‘Best Bits of 2025’ is released today. Ten clinical pearls from episodes across the year. Huge thanks to all our contributors, especially @EMManchester @LizCrowe2 and Nat May. Listen on @MedPodLearn and record your learning automatically for appraisal.
