QNUK Level 3 Award in Rescue Trauma and Casualty Care (RTACC) (RQF)

​

A dynamic, engaging and effective three-day course developed by leading healthcare professionals for pre-hospital care providers working in high-risk workplaces. Ideal for ambulance staff, firefighters, police medics and authorised firearms officers, offshore medics and industry personnel.

​

Work at height, below ground, at sea or in a remote or hostile environment? We provide bespoke training packages with emergency scenarios specific to workplaces or sites to meet the learning needs of staff and responders. RTACC courses supplement theoretical lessons with practical and immersive scenarios using moulage, high-fidelity prosthetics and live casualties. Our actors will bleed, scream, faint and may even fight back as you assess and treat their time critical injuries. You will see it, feel it and deal with it.
