Simulation in Trauma & Casualty Care
A world leading approach to casualty simulation

COURSE SUMMARY

STACC will provide candidates with a solid foundation to enable them to create, set up, facilitate and deliver highly effective and realistic simulated scenarios.

Using the ATACC mindset and approach, developed over 25 years, candidates will learn how to greatly enhance their training delivery and get the most out of their training equipment and environment.
The course focuses on improving realism and immersion to successfully deliver learning objectives and develop individual and team communication, performance and resilience with effective debriefing methods.

Throughout the course candidates will produce their own scenarios which will be demonstrated and tested by their candidate group, aiming to build their confidence to increase the complexity, scale and fidelity of the simulation.

The objective of STACC is to provide educators and trainers with the skills and knowledge to deliver educational immersive simulation in the ‘ATACCway’. This methodology has been developed over the last 25 years across a wide range of emergency service, trauma, health and critical care training and through constant feedback and improvement it is now recognised across the world as one of the most effective approaches to realistic training.

The course explains how to set clear objectives, then delivered through immersive simulation. This includes, planning, set up, running and debriefing using our ‘CASPER’ approach with progressively changing levels of instructor support.
