Updated 2e HMIMMS Course
Last week saw the launch of the newly updated Major Incident Medical Management & Support in the hospital setting. Initially candidates complete an online course in advance of the training which provides them with theoretical approaches.
This means when participants attend the course and join in the table top exercises, they have an excellent grasp of the structured approach and understand how to apply this to various scenarios presented to them. Here in the photo collage, are our candidates in action.

Volunteer Week - 1st-7th June 2019
1st June marks the start of Volunteer Week, volunteers are vital to ALSG. Our clinical experts who advise on our courses, outlining new developments to keep our training courses current, are all volunteers, tirelessly giving up their own time whilst many are working full time.
We are incredibly grateful to the thousands of healthcare professionals, who bring their expertise from all areas across the health service to the training courses we devise and deliver.
In addition, there are many volunteers in the UK and across the world helping across many different areas, transforming lives for so many and it’s wonderful they are being recognised in this small but important way.

PRESS STATEMENT - In response to Sir David Behan, Chair of HEE
An interesting statement today from Sir David Behan, Chair of HEE, whereby in an article in the Health Service Journal, he is surprised how “fragmented” education and training is, as well as citing there are some good relationships but there are regional variations with HEE teams with the employers.
ALSG, as a clinical training organisation, supports his suggestion for greater collaboration and recognises his acknowledgment that: “In any industry, there is always a temptation to raid the training budget to balance other budgets”.
Commenting on the article, Sue Wieteska, CEO at ALSG said: “With more than 25 years of experience in clinical training, ALSG understands the importance of training in supporting recruitment and retention of staff, increasing job satisfaction, staff confidence and improving patient safety. ALSG’s training courses not only focus on saving lives, they also provide employers with the reassurance that their teams have been taught a standardised, internationally recognised, safe approach to dealing with emergencies in all patients, wherever they are based in the UK and around the World.”
Young Carer's Day - 31st January 2019
Today is Young Carer’s Day and it’s heartening that these young people are recognised for their continuing care of loved ones, many of whom take on enormous responsibilities at a very young age.
Through the SAFE Community programme – ELFS and IMPS (@oxfordIMPS1) – ALSG has been providing training to school children in Salford to equip them with the skills and confidence to respond to an accident or emergency at home or in the community. Committed to providing ongoing basic life support training to the community and helping save lives, ALSG has continued to deliver basic life support training within the community, training 2,400 Salford residents since 2016.
SAFE trains children and young people to follow a standardised approach, following a system which is simple to understand in order to offer these young carers the maximum support.
