OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

"Firefighting" for Surgical Teams: the Manchester Trauma Course

In April 2022, we ran our flagship course "Firefighting" for Surgical Teams. This three-day, multi-professional course was developed following the 2017 Manchester Arena Attack. It was initially designed to address the training needs of surgeons who only meet trauma on very rare occasions to permit them to maintain their decision-making and operative skill sets. The course in April 2022 was the fourth iteration of the course and has changed significantly in its format. The first day consists of lectures with key messages followed by simulation exercises. Teams of multi-professionals, similar to those teams who would be receiving a trauma patient, resuscitate the mannequin and de-brief about what went well and could be improved. This day is designed to create a shared mental model of trauma management and for some of the human factors that affect patient care to be explored. The following two days are spent in the cadaveric laboratory with a focus on practical procedures and surgical skills.

The feedback from this course was excellent and presented at a national conference (Royal College of Emergency Medicine 2022). The financial costs to MATT were minimal, and most of the course was funded by other charitable bodies. Some modest sponsorship was obtained. 65 people were trained on this course.

Thoracotomy course

On 21st November 2022, we ran a one-day, cadaveric course undertaking resuscitative chest procedures. The course was aimed at pre-hospital and emergency department doctors and nurses. It featured key-decision making skills, case studies as well as the opportunity to practice surgical manoeuvres. The funding was predominantly obtained from Manchester Foundation Trust. 20 people were trained on this course.

Resuscitative Procedures Course

On 3rd January 2023, a one-day, bespoke cadaveric course was held to train pre-hospital and emergency department doctors, nurses and paramedics in the surgical procedures they may be called to do under austere circumstances. 35 people attended. The informal feedback was excellent and MATT continues to receive requests to run the course again. This course formed part of a suite of courses run in the first week of January 2023. MATT partnered with the Orthocycle charity to deliver the suite of courses. Funding was obtained from Health Education England, Northwest (now NHS England) and medical technology companies who produce orthopaedic equipment. The cadaveric specimens represent the bulk of the cost for these courses. The specimens, and their cost, was shared across the courses. A modest fee was charged to the participants to ensure there was not a shortfall.

"Firefighting" for Orthopaedic Teams: Damage Control

On 4th and 5th January 2023, an orthopaedic version of the flagship "Firefighting" course was held in Manchester. It consisted of one day of simulation training and one day of cadaveric skills, very similar to the original offering but with the practical skills for the surgeons geared towards orthopaedics. This course was multi-professional with the premise of training in teams as one would work. This course was part of the combined offering from the Orthocycle-MATT partnership described previously. Again, a modest fee was charged of the participants to ensure all costs could be covered.

Public benefit

The trustees have given due regard to the charity commissions guidance on public benefit and are confident that the charity meets the criteria.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Plans for next 12 months:

Sustainability of the organisation is a concern given the part-time nature of the volunteers running MATT. Accessing administrative support is going to be a priority.
