(one level higher than FREC). Candidates will be prepared to deal with catastrophic medical and trauma situations in an immersive and engaging environment, gaining knowledge, practical skills, and confidence.
The learner is guided by RTACC to recognise and manage time critical injuries with appropriate interventions. Hands-on experience, live actors, casualty simulation, and short, focused lectures provide the ideal blend of practical and academic learning.
