🔹Developing a New ETS Patient Bank for Paediatric Stabbing Incidents

The UK Emergo Train System (ETS) Faculty, in collaboration with Barts NHS Trust in London, and based on patient outome categories provided by the ETS Competence center, has developed a new research-based patient bank featuring school-age children with stabbing injuries.

The project addresses a growing challenge facing emergency healthcare services and aims to strengthen preparedness for complex incidents involving paediatric trauma. The new patient set was tested during an ETS exercise in London on August 13, evaluating clinical pathways, communication, coordination, and hospital response capabilities.

🌍Following evaluation, the goal is for the patient bank to become part of the global Emergo Train System portfolio, supporting ETS instructors worldwide in training hospitals and first responders.

Since its establishment, the UK Faculty has successfully trained close to 500 Senior Instructors, making a significant contribution to the continued growth and development of the ETS community.

A big thank you to all participants and faculty members who made the course a success! 👏
