10 Second Triage is Here!
Emergency Rescue & Medical Services has adopted and implemented the
10 Second Triage System
In recent years, the risk of terror attacks in the UK has consistently remained at a SUBSTANTIAL level, meaning an attack is likely. As we move into the busy summer months, the UK event season is in full swing with hundreds of events happening nationwide every weekend. Every event, no matter the size, must have a plan in place to handle such a dire situation – but is your medical provider prepared?
At Emergency Rescue & Medical we have implemented the 10 Second Triage System across all our services, both Event and Training based. We deploy this system to all events, ensuring that all our staff, from tactical commanders to first responders, are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and expertise to manage such incidents safely and effectively.
What is 10 Second Triage
Introducing the Emergency Direct Ten Second Triage Kit, a vital tool developed in response to the findings of the Manchester Arena inquiry and designed to enhance major incident triage capabilities. In collaboration with NHS England's Emergency Preparedness, Resilience, and Response (EPRR) Clinical Reference Group, we bring you the game-changing Ten Second Triage tool (TST) for immediate on-site response.
🚑 Ten Second Triage Tool (TST): Swift, Simple, and Lifesaving The TST is engineered for speed and simplicity, ensuring the rapid prioritization of casualties in the critical moments following a major incident. Focuséd on delivering lifesaving interventions (LSIs), such as controlling severe bleeding and opening airways, the TST minimizes cognitive burden, providing a clear and efficient method for responders to address casualties in challenging circumstances.
🌐 Proven Results in Real-world Scenarios Informed by the lessons learned from the Manchester Arena attack, where the importance of efficient triage was underscored, the TST has been recommended for use by all organizations responding to major incidents. Its effectiveness in bridging the 'care gap' and prioritizing casualties is evident in its incorporation into recommendations 112 and 113 of the Public Inquiry report
