Developing knowledge and skills for AHPs and nurses working in UEC to assess, manage and safety net patients with minor trauma.
About this Event

This practical and clinically focused course supports AHPs and nurses working in urgent, emergency, and same-day care settings to enhance their trauma assessment and decision-making skills.

The course covers the secondary assessment and management of non-surgical trauma, with a specific focus on silver trauma in older adults and commonly missed injuries.

Designed to support enhanced-level practice, it aims to build confidence in recognising subtle but important trauma presentations, identifying red flags, and contributing to safe management and discharge advice.
