The Tayside Trauma Team and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance team met for a day of training.
The event was to promote collaborative work at the scenes of serious incidents where patients have sustained injuries.
Dr Mike Donald, clinical lead for the Tayside Trauma Team, said: “One of the misconceptions about providing clinical care in austere environments such as at the roadside or the bottom of a cliff, is that patients can be simply ‘scooped’ from the scene and rapidly transferred to an emergency department for definitive care.
“Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance has been a very welcome addition to the emergency resources available to patients in Tayside and we have interfaced with their team on many occasions at incidents since they commenced their service.”
John Pritchard, lead paramedic for Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the Helimed 76 team to be involved in cross-over training with Tayside Trauma Team.
“This type of training is essential in maintaining a seamless on-scene service to casualties, which promotes the best possible outcomes in time-critical emergencies.
“Scottish Charity Air Ambulance and the Tayside Trauma Team have been an effective partnership and today’s training can only enhance that.”
