“The success of this pioneering programme is evidenced by its enormous global use, where it saves lives every day and enhances clinical practice, which directly benefits patients in the critical stages following a trauma event.

But to me it is more than that. There are the other positives such as the way it brings people together, from all disciplines, both in their own facility but also from further afield, enabling relationships and teams to be built up and developed, it truly is a formidable, well thought out programme”

“PTC training is effective; it has been tested and delivered for the past 26 years in some of the most hostile and remote places in the world.

It saves lives and continues to prevent loss of limb and life. What makes this even more worthy of our praise is that it is sustainable in some of the poorest countries, with little funding or equipment. I have delivered many PTC course sand am proud to be a PTCF Ambassador.”
