PGI Training offers a variety of bespoke Emergency and Trauma Training

Emergency Response and Trauma Training

Exploitation of offshore hydrocarbon resources is

inherently hazardous and requires the application of

significant effort to manage health and safety risks and

achieve appropriate standards of health and safety

performance.

In addition, HSE performance measures are becoming

increasingly stringent and it is up to companies to ensure

that they meet these requirements year on year to

minimise the risks to their employees.

PGI considers the HSE risks and the inevitability of

workplace incidents arising throughout the development

process of our courses. Our aim is to provide the

knowledge, tools, and confidence for those at

operational and managerial levels to positively deal with

such events.

Our suite of training courses and services will provide

you, your teams, and your clients with the confidence

and credentials required to maintain effective business

continuity whilst upholding the highest levels of health

and safety at all times.

We aim to do more than just impart knowledge; PGI

seeks to deliver functional training that takes into

consideration the unique operating procedures your

organisation faces on a daily basis, and then tailor the

syllabus to suit you.

Our Emergency Response Training (ERT) is delivered by a

faculty that boasts a unique combination of medical

professionals which includes Critical Care Practitioners,

UKSF Paramedics, Remote Medics, and First Responders.

Combined, these trainers work together with your teams

to hand-pick the appropriate elements from our range of

existing courses and adapt them accordingly to the

target audience. (See Annex A)

To enhance the in-class theory element of the training, a

kinaesthetic approach is applied, which provides

delegates with the opportunity to put into practice the

new skills learnt. The range of practical scenarios we

provide are designed to correspond with what has been

learnt and provide delegates with the tools, skills, and

confidence to respond effectively in real life situations.

PGI is able to deliver courses at our main centres in

Greater Manchester, Bristol, and Tiverton; however, we

realise that maximum effectiveness occurs at client

locations or in areas nearer to operational hubs and

hence also offer on-site training where applicable.

Introduction

Emergency Response and Trauma Training

The Three Day TFR course has been refined and adapted

following a number of training packages conducted for the

Offshore Hydrocarbon industry. Through this process it has

been identified that encompassing the medical elements of

the HSE offshore first aid course in support of the trauma

syllabus will provide advanced technical medical

capabilities for those who would carry out medical services

as either a primary, or secondary function.

The Trauma First Response is a continuing education course

that teaches the principles of Pre-Hospital Trauma Life

Support (PHTLS) to non-EMS practitioners. The course serves

up the core PHTLS content to those who haven’t had

Emergency Medical Training or advanced Pre-Hospital

training.

The lectures and practical stations are designed to replicate

the type of care first responders are able to apply while

awaiting patient transport or when assisting paramedics and

EMTs at a trauma scene.

Training The course is designed to enable the student to

effectively care for trauma patients when serving as

part of a transport team or awaiting a transport

provider.

The course covers scene assessment, establishing

patient history, and physical examinations to

systematically manage life-threatening situations.

Modules will involve interactive skill stations, real-life

scenarios, lectures, and assessments.

The learning outcomes are mapped against both the

Trauma First Response and HSE offshore First Aid

course and include:

Understanding the role of the first aider

Understanding the importance of preventing

cross infection

The need for recording incidents and actions

and correct use of available equipment

The need for recording incidents and actions

and correct use of available equipment

How to assess the situation and circumstances in

order to act safely, promptly, and effectively in

an emergency

How to administer cardiopulmonary

resuscitation, including the use of automated

external defibrillators, maintenance of manual

resuscitators, manual suction devices, oro and

naso pharyngeal airways and oxygen supplies

How to administer first aid to a casualty who is

bleeding and casualties who are unconscious

How to recognise the presence of major illness

and provide appropriate care to those suffering

heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and

diabetes

How to administer first aid to a casualty who is

suffering from shock, hyper and hypothermia,

effects of immersion, poisons encountered

offshore

How to administer first aid to those with injury

including dressing, immobilisation of injured

parts which include eyes, burns/scalding,

inhalation of hot gasses and smoke

How to recognise minor injuries and illnesses

and take appropriate action

Figure 1 – Real Life Equipment By using real life equipment and environments, PGIT ensures that delegates can take their skills with them in to their own operating environment.

Emergency Response and Trauma Training

How to transport sick and injured patients safely and

effectively

Understand the technicalities and difficulties of

transporting patients by helicopter, the management

of a patient during flight and the need for stabilisation

of the casualty before flight

How to recognise situations in which it is appropriate

to use Entonox for the relief of pain and to administer

Entonox safely and effectively

How to communicate and delegate promptly and

effectively in an emergency.

The Five Day First Person On Scene/Trauma First

Response package give the employer the opportunity

upscale their emergency response capability by building

on prior training and experience of their personnel. The

five day package allows for the non-medical professional

to conduct their primary role with the ability switch roles

to medical response.

Figure 2 – Differing Medical Conditions Delegates will work in teams to respond to multiple patients with different medical conditions.

The course delivery is divided into both theoretical

and practical sessions, which allows for the student to

develop into a competent First Responder. The key

learning outcomes of this course are as follows:

The Pre-Hospital Environment

Patient Assessment

Management of catastrophic haemorrhage

Airway Management (OPA, NPA, I Gel and BVM)

Suction

Oxygen delivery

Basic Life Support

Respiratory problems (medical and trauma

related problems)

Traumatic brain injury

Spinal injuries and immobilisation

Traige

Patient handover and communicating with other

facilities

Figure 3 – Realistic Scenarios Delegates will experience medical situations that resemble actual emergencies to ensure an authentic learning environment,

Emergency Response and Trauma Training

Elements of the TFR are incorporated into this syllabus and

the final day culminates in a series of practical scenarios

relevant to the delegates working environment. Scenarios

test all elements of the FPOSI and TFR syllabus and

companies and delegates are encouraged to utilise

equipment and PPE that they would use in their day to

jobs.

Amputee Actors

To support the delivery of the scenario exercises we will

use the excellent services of amputee actors that have lost

limbs as a direct result of a trauma incident, and are able

to draw on their own experiences to further enhance the

scenarios with unique insight and acting in the field,

remaining in character throughout.

Delegates will experience the effects and management of

trauma incidents in the most realistic way possible. The

special effects used enhance the experience, replicating

injuries beyond leg and arm injuries, recreating traumas

like head and facial wounds and eviscerated abdomens

and groin wounds.

Figure 4 – Amputee Actors At PGI Training, we employ amputee actors who are experienced in supporting the delivery of realistic medical trauma scenario training.

Medical Field Guides

PGI have created a 70 page Xerox Nevertear medics

field guide that has become popular across a

number of business sectors. This A6 water proof and

tear proof aide has been adopted by many medics

into their trauma equipment and includes a detailed

but easy to navigate memoir to maintain, refresh,

and utilise on a daily basis. Contents include but are

not limited to:

Initial assessment

Primary survey

Catastrophic haemorrhage

Airway, oxygen and C-spine injury

Breathing and ventilation

Circulation and haemorrhage control

Burns

Disability (head injury)

Environment

Cardiac emergencies

Medical emergencies

Bites and stings

Triage

Prolonged field care

Medications

Handover details

ATMIST reporting

The guide is scrupulous in design but the team are

flexible enough to allow for independent

organisations’ SOPS to be adapted into it, ensuring

that it falls in line with best management practices

and remains relevant to the operator. This will also

be branded accordingly, for example including a

bespoke front page so that it is effectively perceived

as company handbook and thus fully incorporated

into daily use.
