Important lessons from Manchester Arena Attack - everyone should know their role and responsibilities in major incident before it happens. Staff required for following days as well as during time of incident #TORCH @MtcWos @ScotTraumaNwk @TraumaTorch @BartsHospital

Amazing second day of torch so far, vascular and plastics trauma - pulse oximetry useful in potential limb ischaemia. Chest and abdo trauma, violence reduction - important to reduce re-attendance and improve lifestyles #TORCH @TraumaTorch @BartsHospital @MtcWos @ScotTraumaNwk

Elderly trauma - often under triaged, head injuries most common, elderly patients 5 times more likely to die. Important to remember elderly have significantly different physiological response #silvertrauma #TORCH @MtcWos @ScotTraumaNwk @TraumaTorch

Fantastic day 1 of the @TraumaTorch course. World class faculty and great breadth of topics. A great example of how the trauma system can deliver training. Thanks to @TraumaEMC @nigeltai @ShehanHett (and others) for organising!
