COURSE CONTENT

The ETC course runs over 2.5 days and is predominantly practical based learning.

Experienced faculty

All our faculty are senior clinical staff from multi disciplinary specialities. With a named mentor throughout the course, you will be well supported.

Sim/Scenario

Based on small group working, 85% of our course is taught in Sim/scenario workshops, each focusing on specific areas related to trauma, and growing in complexity as the course progresses.

Assessment

Through a combination of continuous assessment throughout the course and summative assessment on the final day you will be assessed on technical skills and team leadership. There is no written exam.

Included in your course fee is a course dinner attended by all candidates and faculty, providing an opportunity to relax together as a team.
