Special Incidents

In our special incidents section, we cover several subjects which are not commonly attended by ambulance staff, such as drownings and burns

Special Incidents

Within the pre-hospital setting there are a number of special incidents involving trauma or medical cases which require specific treatment and care. These incidents can include burns, drowning, maternity, and more. These jobs are not the usual run of the mill for Ambulance clinicians, and some knowledge and skill fade may be present.

Covering a number of these special situations, we have CPD content in the form of quizzes, videos, and workbooks to help you keep your knowledge up to date:
