Primary Trauma Care Course

PTC Foundation (Delhi) is a non profit organization comprising a group of senior doctors of Delhi who are committed to improving trauma care. Road traffic accidents are the cause of several deaths and severe disability every year. Our effort will go a long way in reducing mortality by timely action taken in the "golden hour" by trained personnel. For this to be successful we need a large pool of trained personnel both doctors and paramedical staff.

We have invited doctors involved in primary trauma care from all the major hospitals of Delhi, to be part of this Trainers Course. This includes doctors from both the major government hospitals like AIIMS and Safdarjang Hospital and private hospitals including Apollo Hospital, Spinal Injuries Centre, Sir Ganga Ram and Max Hospitals. The aim is to produce a pool of doctors from both Government and private hospitals who would undertake to train doctors and paramedical staff in peripheral areas, in particular along our major highways.

We are supported by the PTC Foundation U.K. which, in collaboration with Royal College of Anesthesiologists, conducts primary trauma care workshops all over the world. PTC courses have been very successful in Africa and Pakistan, where they have trained hundreds of doctors and paramedical staff in the basics of primary trauma care.

The objective of the course is to impart knowledge to delegates through teaching the techniques particularly applicable to trauma patients requiring immediate care. The course schedule comprises of lectures, demonstrations, skill stations (airway management, spine injury etc.), case discussions & MCQ test.

We will be grateful for your support in conducting these courses for training doctors and paramedical staff in primary trauma care. After conducting courses in Delhi, we will go out to the surrounding states where highway accidents carry a high mortality due to poor trauma care in the initial "golden hour".

Since we are taking only 20 candidates for the each course, please contact us for registration at the earliest. To download the registration form and details of the course, visit the URL: www.ptcdelhi.com
