The ETS Bomb/blast trauma victim bank is now available also in Dutch! The victim bank is available in medium (100 patients) and small (50 patients). All patients have a management card.
The bank can be used for scenarios such as for example:
terror attack
war scenarios
accident with explosion
In December 13-15 the ETS Competence center conducted a national Swedish ETS Senior instructor course. 20 new ETS Senior instructors are now trained to plan, set up, run and evaluate exercises using ETS. We wish them good luck with future exercises!
In November 3-5 the Interational Committe of the Red Cross (ICRC) had a Mass Casualty Incident Training in Beirut, Lebanon using ETS. Participants was from 3 hospitals, the Lebanese Red Cross, ambulance and the Lebanese University Task Force.
The ETS psychosocial support training material is developed in order to practice coordination and psychological first aid for situations in everyday life as well as major incidents.
The material consists of survivors in various ages, family circumstances and life situations to reflect a normal population of survivors of a major incident. The survivors have different reactions and different coping abilities. This demands individual assessment of the psychological first aid and individual assessment of the follow-up that is needed.
We have now expanded the bank with additional 50 survivors. They consist of a larger number of survivors with disabilities, complex social situations and mental problems.
Due to Covid-19 and the travel restrictions we have not been able to set up any international ETS Senior instructor courses for over one year. We hope that 2022 will be different and are planning for three international courses.
The courses are three days and course language is English. During the course you learn how to plan, set up, run and evaluate simulation exercises using Emergo Train System.
Course 1: January 25-27 2022
Course 2: March 29-31 2022
Course 3: September 6-8 2022
The courses are held at KMC – Center for Teaching & Research in Disaster Medicine and Traumatology in Linköping, Sweden. Read more about the course and register on KMC webbsite!
Due to the Covid19 pandemic, there have not been any Senior instructor courses conducted for a long time. The first ETS Senior instructor course for over a year was held in May 2021 by the ETS faculty in Queensland!
