RTACC – Rescue Trauma & Casualty Care Training
Practical Level 3 trauma and casualty response training for emergency responders and higher-risk workplaces across Yorkshire and the North East.
COURSE OVERVIEW
RESCUE TRAUMA & CASUALTY CARE IN YORKSHIRE
RTACC (Rescue Trauma and Casualty Care) is an advanced, scenario-based trauma response course for people who may be first on scene when a serious incident occurs. It goes beyond standard workplace first aid, concentrating on recognising time-critical injury, effective casualty assessment and safe, coordinated response while specialist medical help is arranged.
Based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Plant and Safety Training Yorkshire can discuss RTACC training for rescue and emergency-response teams, construction and civil-engineering contractors, plant operators, utilities teams and other higher-risk workplaces throughout Yorkshire and the North East.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN ON RTACC?
Practical teaching and realistic scenarios can be adapted to the risks faced by your team. Core areas to discuss with us include:
- Scene safety, emergency priorities and a structured casualty assessment using the MARCH approach.
- Recognising and responding to catastrophic bleeding, airway and breathing emergencies.
- Responding to traumatic injury, including crush injuries, fractures and other serious incidents.
- Communication, teamwork, casualty priorities and handover to arriving emergency services.
- Practical scenarios and assessment appropriate to the current RTACC awarding route.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER RTACC?
RTACC can be relevant to workplace emergency-response teams, construction and civil engineering organisations, utilities and heavy plant environments, fire and rescue personnel and other professional responders. Employers should match training to their first aid needs assessment and operational risks.
