Trauma Immediate Life Support (TILS)
The TILS study day encompasses lectures, workstations & Trauma moulages where all the skills learnt during the day are consolidated in simulation. The candidates are not expected to undertake skills or roles during the day that they don’t undertake in real life, the course helps standardise the care & treatment that each major trauma patient will receive regardless of day/ time of attendance.
Duration: 1 day, 6 times per year at MTC.
Target candidates: All nurses within the Emergency department will complete. New Band 5 nurses starting in the emergency department will be booked into the TILS study day within 6 months of starting their post. There will be a trial period of opening this course up to junior doctors in the Emergency department and wards. Each trauma unit should have their own TILS course implemented with resources provided by the MTC but network places can be made available to support units as required.
