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
