Why is understanding the social structure of the people we care for important? Will it make a difference to the outcome of the care we provide, and is it something we should incorporate into our care plans to make a real difference?

We are honoured to speak with Colonol (Retired) David Bates ARRC BN MMedEd MPH SFHEA FIHSCM FRSPH MloD, Senior Lecturer at the University of Cumbria. David will take us through this subject, explaining why an understanding of social structure can help us provide optimal care wherever we work.

What happens when responders face subzero chaos? In this episode, Sergeant Rob Simpson shares frontline insights on how emergency services operate and train in extreme cold.

Welcome everyone to the latest edition of TSG Talk. TSG Talk explores the unique challenges of providing medical care in complex environments and investigates how we can organise our input to maximise survivors.

Responding to an incident where there are multiple casualties who have significant thermal injures will be one of the most difficult events a health system has to respond to.

We are privileged tonight to talk with, Professor Randy Kearns, with 105 publications and 2 books we truly have a colleague with a deep understanding of the subject.
