🚑 ON THE SCENE RECAP 🩹✨

Students worked through essential skills including:
🩺 ABCDE assessment ❤️ CPR 🩹 Wound management 🦴 Splinting ↩️ Log roll & recovery position 🧠 C-spine stabilisation  📢 Communication & role allocation
The session culminated in an MVA simulation, bringing everything together and challenging students to put their skills into practice under pressure. 🚐💥
