Annual Summary of the Charity
Manchester Advanced Trauma Training (MATT) became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 10th February 2022. There are five Trustees of the Charity. The object of Manchester Advanced Trauma Training is the advancement of health for public benefit by educating healthcare professionals about major trauma.
Activity
High Acuity Low Occurrence (HALO) Course
On 7[th] March 2024, a one-day, bespoke cadaveric course was held to train pre-hospital and emergency department doctors and paramedics in the surgical procedures they may be called to do under austere circumstances. 27 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 March 2024. MATT partnered with Manchester Trauma, a local company running predominantly orthopaedic trauma courses, to share costs. 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. Medical technology companies who produce orthopaedic equipment also sponsored the courses. MATT did not take a profit or loss and did not see any cashflow. The aim was to break even, rather than to produce a profit.
Future plans
MATT is run by volunteers with full time healthcare positions within the NHS. It is becoming increasingly challenging to deliver trauma courses. From a financial perspective from MATT has seen increasing costs, particularly of cadaveric specimens, and decreasing study budgets available to healthcare professionals as well as educational budgets available from industry. The volunteers who run the charity or under increasing pressure from their NHS practices and time to run courses is very sparse. The administrative load to running a suite of courses is very large. The future of the charity is uncertain.
