We would recommend moving to a safe, optimised environment wherever possible. If not possible then SGA, rather than intubation attempts, especially without drug assistance.

Not only does this packaging waste valuable time, it can be tricky to remove under normal conditions, let alone when there’s blood all over the patient and the operator’s hands.
Intense start to Day 2 -

This morning, each team spent some time with their team mentors over coffee. A key balance of
#ATACC
is to stretch the teams and to support them appropriately.
After a great couple of days presenting

We’ll be ready...will you?
If you want to achieve high-performance under pressure, first achieve high-performance without pressure.
Don’t use simulation for skill training. Master the skill first, then increase stress through scenario training.
Anyone interested in

We have been busy in many ways during Covid, but
#TheLab
is developing and creating a whole new world of our unique levels of
#simulation
for our forthcoming courses.
So, as the dust and adrenaline settles on another

#ATACC
course, it’s time to reflect on the experience
This one was that little tougher for various reasons, but ultimately this just re-emphasised how incredible the experience can be

@ATACCGroup
have produced this little teaser video. Great snapshot of our comprehensive pre hospital and in-hospital course.
Tempted?
Whatever has happened here, you're really going to need all your team at the top of their game to sort it out. Can you be the best version of you, and empower them to be the best version of themselves?
We'll see on
