Reflections on the enhancing education and training in trauma care discussion, 14 June 2017
Around 50 Trauma and Orthopaedics clinical staff, paramedics and researchers from Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, North West Ambulance Service, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospital South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust attended. Professor Paul Dark welcomed everybody and introduced the guest speakers: Dr Mike Davis and Jill Windle.
1. From linguistics to medical education, an insight into trauma training within a community of practice
GM-aCAT was delighted to welcome the inspiring Dr Mike Davis, educator on Advance Life Support group and Advance Trauma Life Support. He was lead educator in the development of European Trauma Courses (ETC, 2006 - 2012) and IMPACT (2006 - 2012) and continues to be involved in these courses nationally and internationally.

Mike Davis on the importance of simulation in trauma training
Mike concentrated on how simulation is used in education and training. He clearly indicated how simulation, which includes a mixture of medical staff, nurses and paramedics, can benefit learning in the acute and trauma care setting and that this type of teaching should be encouraged within clinical settings.

Nursing Core Course. The group enjoyed learning from Jill on her experience on setting up national standards in trauma nursing in UK and developing a new Emergency Nursing/AHP Quality Indicator.
Jill Windle giving her presentation on Trauma Nursing: Setting the standardEarly discussion about defining and setting standards for trauma nursing started with Prof. Chris Moran, National Clinical Director for Trauma and Prof. Rob Crouch at the trauma care conference in April 2015. The National Major Trauma Nursing Group met first in July 2015 with aims to shape the future of trauma nursing as a recognised sub-speciality area of expertise and practice. The key outputs of this group so far are developing new Emergency Nursing/AHP Quality Indicators in collaboration with Major Trauma CRG and NHS England Quality Surveillance Team which went live in April 2016.
The group then discussed further challenges for major trauma nursing care: Meeting the quality indicators at the next Peer Review How to ensure the competencies are rolled out to MTCs and TUs Availability/development of training courses Network with wider groups Financing

3. Dr Martin Smith and Dr Paul Wallman facilitated a discussion on opportunities to develop training across Greater Manchester
Dr Martin Smith and Dr Paul Wallman leading discussion on trauma trainingDiscussion covered:
Standards and availability of training in Acute Care: There are currently different standards and requirements between Trusts in respect of the
training for the nursing Undergraduate students have very small exposure to trauma care during their training at
university
Developing courses within GM Developing GM wide courses using GM expertise Developing joint courses/simulations and opportunities to work together for medical
staff/medical undergraduate students, paramedics and nurses in order to understand the major challenges for each of these groups and improve communication and teamwork during trauma response
Funding: Challenges and possible sources General cuts for funding for nurses and lack funding for paramedics lack of funding no more NHS
England funding for any CPD in England for Nursing or Allied Health Professionals Funding from the Operational Delivery Network & charities connected to TUs and MTCs Trauma fellowship Industrial sponsorship for education events Using income from GM organised courses as a source of funding/support for local staff
Conclusions from meeting: GM-aCAT will form a project group to consider strategies for the next two years to develop trauma care training in GM to reflect the professional development needs for medical staff, nurses, paramedics and medical students.
4. Feedback summary All responders were very positive about the meeting and felt that attending GM-aCAT meetings is a good way for networking. They pointed to the positive fact that different sectors are represented at

these meeting. People found the discussion around training and future education very interesting and relevant to their jobs. There was very strong feeling that there is good evidence for more simulation training (high & low fidelity) in-house.
