MIMMS Major Incident, Medical Management and Support:
The practical approach at the scene
MIMMS presents the nature and management of a major incident, focusing on how to
deliver the medical support needed to mulple casuales. As the only internaonal
standard in major incident medical management, the course is taught and the principles are
pracced throughout the world, being integrated into civilian and military medical pracce.
The course objecves include:
Understanding the organisaons, structures and roles in managing major incidents and how
they work together.
Able to prepare for and implement a structured approach when responding to major incidents
(CSCATTT).
Able to deliver the medical support needed at major incidents, through triage, treatment and
transport.
“A greater proporon of doctors urgently need to be trained in the skills of acute…medicine”1
“I want more me with my SHOs, teaching them how to do lumbar punctures and things…I think
that probably the first thing to go when you are busy is the teaching and training of others.” 2
“Training, exercising and tesng of significant incident and emergency plans
within individual NHS organisaons, between NHS funded organisaon and with
mul -agency partners is an important part of emergency preparedness...”1

The paent outcome case
for ALSG educaon
programmes Our educaon programmes are
designed to save lives. That is why
ALSG was set up in 1990 and it drives
everything that we do.
Where we have been able to
measure outcomes, we have found
that lives h ve been s ved.
Following our educaon
programme in Gambia there was a
50% reducon in maternal
mortality, a 32% reducon in infant
mortality and a 94% survival rate in
resuscitaon.
Anecdotal evidence from
candidates who pass our educaon
programmes suggests that
condence increases in individuals
and their teams, and that skills are
pracsed immedi tely with
improved p ent c re and survival
rates.
The economic case for
ALSG educaon
programmes We commissioned The University of
Liverpool’s Health Economics group
to independently verify our beliefthat appropriate educaon
programmes save money as well as
lives. Results indicate that even
small improvements to outcomes
result in considerable direct cost
savings. “..primaryprevenonby

If you are considering developing
your own training locally, please
read our paper considering the pros
and cons ‘What do ALSG coursesoer compared to locally developed
training’ in which we consider
duplicaon of spending and training,
variaon of standards, appeals,
teaching quality, mul-disciplinary
oversight, blended learning and
internaonal standards.
The quality case for ALSG educaon programmes
This educaon programme operates in a profession where quality is a key metric in
improving paent care.As the NHS changes and performance measures are applied, at ALSG we compare our
programme content and quality to the standards and map the result. For the most up-to-
date informaon on standards mapping of any ALSG educaon programme, email
