How We Operate ...

The aim is to train people from various backgrounds in the immediate care of critically ill and injured patients, thereby ensuring that casualties are offered the best chance of survival. The courses are all intensive ones and are based around tried and tested methods.

Our office and training centre facility is based in Manchester, UK. From this facility we provide one, two and three day courses, we oversee a network of training centres in the UK and abroad and we develop training packages for use in our own and other centres.

The group has made great efforts to develop training course packages to fill any gaps in the existing range available. All of the packages are didactic, comprehensive, consistent and are structured in such a way that other groups can deliver them. Thereby ensuring that the 'system' of care is available to a much wider number of people.

The group is often pioneering new courses and consolidating existing ones. It is important for the credibility of the courses, the providers and the instructors that research is carried out to audit their effectiveness. This research and quality control function is also undertaken by the central administrative function of ALSG.
