Life-saving knowledge: tactical medicine training for IIR employees

On 14-15 October, practical and theoretical training in tactical medicine was held for employees of the IIR. The two-day course combined theory and practice to develop basic skills in providing pre-medical care in extreme conditions.

On the first day, participants learned the theoretical foundations of tactical medicine: its history, basic principles and objectives, as well as the differences between combat and civilian medicine. Particular attention was paid to the algorithm of actions called "MARCH".

The second day was practical in nature. Participants practised their newly acquired knowledge in conditions as close to real life as possible, training themselves to react quickly in various critical situations. Thanks to the practical exercises, everyone had the opportunity to experience the importance of teamwork and responsibility for the lives of those around them.

Tactical medicine is a set of medical knowledge and skills aimed at providing assistance to the wounded in dangerous and emergency situations.

Its main goal is to save lives while ensuring the safety of the rescuer and acting in accordance with the tactical situation.
