Major Incidents from a Scottish Perspective with John Paul Loughrey

In this conversation, we will explore some of the lessons learned
through years of major incident attendance in Scotland from the
Emergency Medical Retrieval Services (EMRS). We examine the
Scottish Trauma Network, the demographics of healthcare in
Scotland, and some of the recent and seminal major incidents that
have informed EMRS’s approach. We also include some of the
lessons learnt through the Manchester bombings – that of
paediatric triage and treatment in Mass Casualty incidents. We
examine some of the lessons learnt through using CSCATTT,
METHANE, activation and tasking, communications both remotely and
at site, preferred triage tools and much more.


 


To do this I have John Paul Loughrey with me. JP is a Consultant
in Emergency Medicine at the QEUH in Glasgow and has worked with
EMRS in a variety ous roles since 2011. He is the Major Incident
lead for ScotSTAR and is Vice-President of the Royal College of
Emergency Medicine. In addition, his other main professional
interests include major trauma care, teaching and training and
organising large-scale CPD events and conferences.
