NAEMT PHTLS: Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support, UK 9th Edition

NEW UK 9TH EDITION with JRCALC Compliant Manual, NHS Specific Presentations and MCQ Exam

The UK 9th Edition is based on principles and practises of treating the multi-system trauma patient, as a unique entity: Trauma is a disease of time, with the mean time to death from major haemorrhage being <37mins. PHTLS courses improve the quality of trauma care and decrease mortality.

50% of the major trauma patients will die from haemorrhage; 50% from severe traumatic brain injury:

1% will have a airway complication.

PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing trauma care. It is based on the belief that, given a good knowledge of key principles, emergency clinicians, including Paramedics, Doctors and Prehospital Nurses, as well as military medical personnel, are capable of making informed decisions regarding quality patient care.

The course uses the internationally recognised PHTLS textbook, UK 9th Edition that is JRCALC compliant, and covers the following topics:

• Physiology of Life and Death: Trauma Care in the UK
• Scene Assessment
• Patient Assessment
• Airway Management, including i-gel
• Breathing, Ventilation and Oxygenation
• Circulation, Haemorrhage and the Pathophysiology of Shock
• Head Injuries & Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Patient Simulations
• Special Circumstances
• Traumatic Cardiac Arrest
• And much more!

PHTLS is the gold standard in Pre-hospital trauma education and is taught in 67 countries.

PHTLS is appropriate for UK Paramedics, Prehospital Nurses, Emergency PHEM Doctors, Military Medical Staff and other prehospital emergency care staff.

Our international faculty has a range of NHS, Military, Ambulance, HEMS and Critical Care Staff, including Advanced Paramedics, Critical Care Teams and PHEM Doctors.
