This week, Aebhric O'Kelly talks with the faculty from Tactical Medicine North from Ukraine. The College was invited to return to Ukraine to teach the DCR-U course for the TacMedNorth faculty.

Summary

They started gathering information and teaching combatants in 2022 during the full-scale invasion. Their courses range from basic to advanced levels, including AEMT courses and blood resuscitation training. The goal is to provide proper training and knowledge to combat medics and non-medics. The experience of running the advanced damage control recess course was positive, with motivated students who wanted a deeper understanding of medicine. The use of guidelines and documents was emphasised to ensure proper care. The future goal is to spread the training and continue teaching at a high level.
