Saturday 3rd March 2018 Keele Medical School
Introduction
The function of this document is to detail the curriculum for the Keele Trauma Course 2018.
It will state: the reasoning and purpose of the course, the target audience, prerequisite knowledge
and skills, what is to be taught and how it will be taught.
Purpose
The purpose of this curriculum is to define the learning aims and structure of teaching for the Keele
Trauma Course 2018.
The reasoning behind this course is to give medical students basic skills and knowledge regarding
pre-hospital and acute care. The course aims to fuel enthusiasm to pursue careers in this area of
medicine and as such will also offer lectures of career pathways.
Target
The target audience is primarily at 1-5th medical students as well as foundation year doctors. Other
medical professionals (such as student nurses and paramedics) are also welcome.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Those involved will ideally have a keen interest in acute and pre-hospital medicine.
A broad knowledge of the type of scenarios and pathology faced in this setting as well a basic
understanding of how these might be managed is beneficial but not necessary.
Curriculum overview
The taught element of the course has three main principles: clinical knowledge, clinical skills and
interpersonal skills. These three principles are interwoven throughout the structure of the day.
Regarding clinical knowledge, students will be able:
- to understand the function of an A-E assessment and common pathology that may be
found
- to know the different methods are airway management and when they might be used
- to identify mechanisms of injury that may result in major fractures, the dangers of this
and how these may be managed
- to know the signs of catastrophic haemorrhage, its causes and how this is managed
- to understand mechanisms that may result in spinal injury and how these patients are
extracted
- to purpose of intraosseous access
- to understand the training pathway into pre-hospital care and relevant elective
opportunities
Regarding clinical skills, students will be taught and have the opportunity to practise:
- <c>A-E assessment

Keele Trauma Course Curriculum

Saturday 3rd^ March 2018 – Keele Medical School

Introduction The function of this document is to detail the curriculum for the Keele Trauma Course 2018. It will state: the reasoning and purpose of the course, the target audience, prerequisite knowledge and skills, what is to be taught and how it will be taught. Purpose The purpose of this curriculum is to define the learning aims and structure of teaching for the Keele Trauma Course 2018. The reasoning behind this course is to give medical students basic skills and knowledge regarding pre-hospital and acute care. The course aims to fuel enthusiasm to pursue careers in this area of medicine and as such will also offer lectures of career pathways. Target The target audience is primarily at 1- 5 th^ medical students as well as foundation year doctors. Other medical professionals (such as student nurses and paramedics) are also welcome. Prerequisite knowledge and skills Those involved will ideally have a keen interest in acute and pre-hospital medicine. A broad knowledge of the type of scenarios and pathology faced in this setting as well a basic understanding of how these might be managed is beneficial but not necessary. Curriculum overview The taught element of the course has three main principles: clinical knowledge, clinical skills and interpersonal skills. These three principles are interwoven throughout the structure of the day. Regarding clinical knowledge, students will be able:

  • to understand the function of an A-E assessment and common pathology that may be found
  • to know the different methods are airway management and when they might be used
  • to identify mechanisms of injury that may result in major fractures, the dangers of this and how these may be managed
  • to know the signs of catastrophic haemorrhage, its causes and how this is managed
  • to understand mechanisms that may result in spinal injury and how these patients are extracted
  • to purpose of intraosseous access
  • to understand the training pathway into pre-hospital care and relevant elective opportunities Regarding clinical skills, students will be taught and have the opportunity to practise:
  • A-E assessment
  • Airway management including use of Guedel airways, bag and mask and iGel insertion.
  • Use of the Kendrick traction device, box splints, combat application tourniquet and pelvic binders
  • Use of spinal boards for extraction from road traffic collisions
  • Removal of a helmet from a motorcyclist
  • Gaining intraosseous access Intrapersonal skills will be taught throughout the day. The aim being to gain practise in clear and succinct communication, an understanding of the necessity for hierarchy and understanding the boundaries of their own competency. These three principles will not be taught on an individual, pure basis. Instead they will be interwoven throughout the varies workshops and scenarios throughout the day. Structure The course will be taught through a mixture of workshops, moulage, simulation and lectures. Workshop groups will be composed of roughly 10 students with similar levels of clinical experience. This will allow sessions to be tailored to a degree to account for the knowledge and skills still will come with. Sessions taught in this manner will be: A-E assessment, airway management, fracture and haemorrhage. These sessions will last 45 minutes. There will be two lectures. A guest lecture (treatment in the non-permissive and permissive environment) as well as a talk on electives from a former student, Dr Hunt. The moulage will take the form of a road traffic collision. Taking place outside with the use of cars and actors, students will be guided through 6 patient scenarios in small groups with the aid of a doctor. Depending on clinical ability, groups may be allowed to manage the scenario themselves with a debrief or be guided through step by step. Groups will have 12 minutes with each patient. A second, separate scenario involves a demonstration of the extraction of a patient from a vehicle as well as how and when to remove the helmet of an injured motorcyclist. Taking place outside with the use of actors, this 45-minute exercise is again supervised by one or more of our team of doctors. This exercise is paired with a demonstration and opportunity to practise gaining intraosseous access. The simulation aspect is a military scenario run by 202 Field Hospital. This 45-minute piece involves a demonstration of a casualty receiving team in action on simulated patients. The roles of each individual are discussed before students themselves practise. In the past, this has involved the use of pyrotechnics to create a fast-tempo, frenetic environment that truly tests student’s ability to perform. In addition, a coursebook containing notes on everything covered during the day will be distributed at the beginning of the day. Please see appendix I for an example timetable of the day. Assessment There will be no formal assessment. Students will receive feedback throughout the day.
