Realistic road collision mock‑up training

Dr Tim Johnson from Cardiff University Medical School explores how realistic road collision mock‑up exercises can transform learning for rescuers, investigators and future clinicians by providing a safe but emotionally powerful environment to practise joint working.

Drawing on a recent large‑scale simulation for second‑year medical students at Cardiff University, Tim will highlight how carefully-scripted scenarios, convincing wreckage and lifelike casualty injuries help participants better understand the full patient journey and the operational pressures of a serious road traffic collision.
