See the TBS24 landing page for the programme and full set of talks.
Synopsis
The ATACC (Anaesthesia, trauma and critical care) course now celebrates 25 years of pushing high-fidelity experiential resuscitation team training to a previously unimagined level. They are widely considered the best-in-class and a model for all of us who educate in resuscitation, whether in-hospital or prehospital.
Tune into this lecture from the Mark, founder and director, and Halden, co-director, to get an appreciation for the dedication, thought and massive amount of work that goes into pulling this off, from the pedagogical principles, to the machinery of logistics and the innovations from the ATACC lab that helps make wearable injury mimics.

Halden Hutchinson-Bazely
I am an intensive care medicine doctor and pre hospital emergency medicine doctor in the UK. I work in a large, major trauma centre ICU, and I am a HEMS doctor at East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA). I am committed to delivering contemporary and compassionate critical care, and supporting others to do the same, so much of my non-clinical work is education. I am a faculty member at EAAA, where I specialise in endovascular resuscitation techniques. I am also part of the faculty for the international Endovascular Trauma Management (EVTM) society. My main commitment to education is as a deputy medical director for ATACC, where I co-direct the ATACC course. I think the real ‘secret sauce’ of what we do here, is giving people not just the cutting edge knowledge and skills, but also the tools to deliver these things when the chips are down and the stress is on. This is what I hope to share with you all at TBS24.
