Trauma 360 Plus – High Fidelity Trauma and Critical Skills Certificate

Summary

The Trauma 360 Plus – High Fidelity Trauma and Critical Skills Certificate is an advanced two-day trauma masterclass for clinicians involved in the management of critically injured patients.

Through focused teaching, simulation-based trauma scenarios, and high-fidelity animal (porcine) tissue models, participants will develop advanced procedural skills and the clinical decision-making required for modern trauma care.

The course provides extensive hands-on training in life-saving trauma procedures using porcine tissue models that closely replicate human anatomy and tissue handling. Participants will also manage realistic trauma scenarios covering the assessment, resuscitation and ongoing management of major trauma while developing leadership, communication, teamwork, situational awareness and crisis resource management through structured faculty-led debriefing.

Day 1: 5 April 2027

Day 2: 28 April 2027

Please note: This course includes extensive practical training using porcine tissue models. Participants who have personal, ethical, cultural or religious objections to working with porcine tissue should take this into consideration before registering.

Suitable for: Fellows, SpRs, registrars, and SHOs working in emergency medicine, surgery or intensive care.
