Training is available to help GPs better prepare for natural disasters like bushfires and flood.
South Western Sydney Local Health District is holding Major Incident Emergency Management Medical Support (MIMMS) Training.
MIMMS is a globally recognised training program. It teaches a systematic approach to a multiple casualty incident. This approach can be applied to any major incident. The emphasis is on scene management.
The course is based on developing the practical skills health professionals can use in management of health and casualties in a disaster or major incident.
The MIMMS approach provides consistency and ensures responders are prepared and understand the operational management structure they are working within, both inside the hospital and out in the field.
The training will be provided free of charge.
