There has never been such a need for Major Incident management training since the end of the Cold War. The events since September 11th World Trade Centre massacre and 7/7 have served to increase rather than decrease the risk of further terrorist attacks. Society is more mobile, and more industrialised, and attends more large public events and also possibly less disciplined. Everyone who provides any form of health care should be aware of the procedures that are implemented when a Major Incident occurs.

The changing profile of major incidents has lead to the realisation that training needs to be more structured. Manchester Metropolitan University offers a one year Postgraduate certificate course for Silver Commanders, ALSG offers the three day MIMMS course, but for all those who might be just a small cog in the big machine one day we offer a one day introduction in to the concept of management.

The course covers pre-planning, the first fifteen minutes, the statutory service plans, triage, treatment techniques, an introduction to CBRN issues and finally concludes with records and Public Inquiries.

Suitable for groups from 6 to 24, further details on request.
