The South West Acute Hospital, Enniskillen warmly welcomes delegates as they host this year’s European Trauma Course (ETC), as the Northern Ireland (NI) Regional Centre for the course since 2017.
Dr Ian Crawford, Western Trust Consultant in Emergency Medicine at the South West Acute Hospital and course organiser, explained:
“The European Trauma Course is an innovative life support course for doctors and other health care professionals that are involved in the acute care of major trauma patients. The course provides advanced trauma training with a strong focus on team work and non-technical skills and allows candidates to spend 85% of their time practising in scenario based workshops and skill stations.
Dr Crawford added:
“We warmly welcome delegates from across the UK and Ireland to the South West Acute Hospital this week. For senior clinicians across relevant specialties the ETC focuses on the skills that underpin the delivery of effective trauma care by trauma teams in major trauma units and major trauma centres nationally and internationally. As the NI Regional Centre for the ETC we are proud to contribute to trauma care locally, regionally and nationally by delivering the course in the excellent medical education centre here at the South West Acute Hospital, Enniskillen.”
