About
The Royal National ENT Hospital and University College London Hospitals are pleased to host for the inaugural London national head and neck trauma courses in conjunction with ENT UK. The course, originally designed and developed in the Oxford deanery, has been approved by the SAC as ATLS-equivalent for ENT trainees to meet their CCT requirements. The course faculty in made up for multidisciplinary consultants with many years of experience working in a major trauma centre receiving complex adult trauma including the UK’s military repatriations.
The course will be delivered in a hybrid format, with online interactive pre-learning to be followed by a single-day practical course. The face-to-face session will run through key technical skills in trauma management such as:
- Primary and secondary survey
- Paediatric difficult airway management
- Chest drain insertion
- Interventional radiology
- Maxillofacial and laryngeal plating
- Lateral canthotomy
- Vascular injury repair
The afternoon will focus of team-based training to develop non-technical skills vital in the management of complex head and neck trauma scenarios.
As per the SAC directive, the course is only currently available to trainees ST6 and above and will prioritise places to those in ST7 and ST8 who need to complete a trauma course to meet CCT requirements. As such, the course will be made available to different learner groups in a staggering manner, but within these places will be filled on a first come first, serve basis.
