2G - Advisable: BIRTs - NHS Clinical Guidelines for Major Incidents and Mass Casualty Events
Certificate available: complete this course to be awarded a certificate
The Clinical Guidelines for use in a Major Incident have been created with the occasional trauma team in mind, for example, for surgeons in a trauma unit who need to treat a deteriorating P2 patient, or a P1 patient who has been conveyed to the trauma unit, during a major incident response. Current protocols and guidance from pre-hospital care and advanced trauma practices have been blended with expert clinical knowledge, military experience gained over many years of managing blast and ballistic injury, NGO/global trauma doctrine and learning points from recent incidents, and made relevant to UK NHS clinical practice.
The section on Burn injury in a major incident can be found on page 72-74.
