About the CPD course
An exercise for the initial response to a mass casualty incident from marauding terrorist attacks. It is a ‘hybrid’ simulation exercise of the receipt of a large number of casualties from the scene or scenes of a major incident. It contains key elements of several types of exercises: Simulation (live); Command Post; Communications; Orientation and Table-top exercises. It is not simply a 'test' of how the hospital functions in response to mass casualties but also provides a training opportunity for all participants. The exercise is designed to test plans; to train staff and to explore policies and procedures. The aim and objectives of the exercise provide the opportunity to train and familiarise the participants with the key response roles and processes without the disruption to activities that a live exercise would cause to normal working. The Emergo Train System (ETS) simulated casualties provide the foundation of the exercise; representing real-life injuries and conditions. This form of ‘hybrid’ exercises facilitates real-life conditions and pressures without the need for expensive role playing actors or to committing large scale operational assets.
