Background and aims of the course

The medical response to major incidents is a chain of many components: Prehospital response, transport, hospital response, communication, coordination & command. The outcome of the response is dependent of the function of all these components, and also (which is important) how they function together.
Consequently, effective and realistic training and evaluation of the medical response can not be done by training of one isolated component: The different functions must be trained together to make possible an accurate evaluation of the outcome, as a base for learning and further development of the methodology.
A way to achieve this is to use advanced simulation models. In such models, special emphasis can be put on any of the components in the chain, but all the other components also have to be illustrated and involved to permit a complete and realistic training and also an accurate evaluation of the outcome with regard to mortality and complications.
The aim of the present course is to illustrate and teach a methodology that can be used to achieve these goals. This methodology can be used for training and evaluation of any organisation and any way or working and is thereby widely applicable.

Training of all functions together : prehospital and hospital response, transport, communication, coordination&command
