🚑 The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course trains over 55,000 doctors around the world each year to provide safe, effective emergency care for patients with life-threatening injuries.
Taught by surgeons and doctors in emergency medicine, anaesthetics and other specialties, a new edition of the course is launched every four years, to ensure doctors learn the very latest skills.
🏥 The latest version of the course ran for the first time in the UK last week at Tunbridge Wells Hospital, under the direction of Mr Guy Slater, Clinical Lead for Advanced Trauma Life Support in the UK for the @royalcollegeofsurgeons and a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
🥇 Mr Slater said: “We are delighted to be the first hospital in the country to offer this new version of the internationally-acclaimed ATLS course; it is a well-deserved accolade for everyone involved in medical education at the Trust.
“The teaching is of very high quality and delivered by a large number of colleagues; we are hugely grateful for their contribution as the course could not run without their support.”
