A two day course, Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) provides comprehensive training for emergency and healthcare professionals in the UK who need to deliver advance trauma care in pre-hospital settings. Based on globally recognised principles and evidence based trauma management, this intensive course equips participants with the essential skills to respond effectively to trauma incidents, ensuring the highest possible standard of care or trauma patients before they reach the hospital.

To respond to demand we want to make this course available to staff - we need a more accurate idea of interest prior to purchasing. Available to registered clinicians.
