course overview
An intensive 4-day programme designed for experienced field leaders, security personnel, and high-risk deployment teams who may need to manage multiple casualties and complex trauma cases in remote or hostile environments. Participants develop advanced airway management, bleeding control, thoracic injury management, and multi-casualty command skills. Training is fully immersive and scenario-based, replicating the pressures and unpredictability of real-world incidents
This course delivers practical, scenario-driven and evidence-based training tailored to the real conditions, challenges, and risks that NGO staff face during day-to-day field operations.
It introduces a clear, structured and rapid approach to casualty care that helps responders quickly identify and prioritise life-threatening conditions, while avoiding missed injuries or illness. It empowers staff to provide immediate, effective first-line care, buying time for advanced support and improving patient outcomes.
Our approach is hands-on, immersive, and scenario-based — proven to embed knowledge, build confidence, and ensure field teams retain critical skills they can apply under pressure. This style of learning has already been adopted by the emergency services and is now adapted to meet the needs of the humanitarian sector.
