Medical Risk Management Solution

Prometheus Medical International is attending the Hillhead Quarrying, Construction & Recycling show on June 26th in Buxton.

Our business development manager, Chris Read, who has a wealth of experience of medical risk management, is eager to connect with health and safety managers to give a brief overview of how Prometheus’ emergency medical response provision aligns with the sector.

Chris is currently in discussions with a number of manufacturing companies that have identified gaps in their medical emergency response provision. He has ascertained their specific needs in terms of training, clinical governance, and supported decision-making using telemedicine to provide a tailor-made solution. He has a keen interest in engaging with manufacturers of heavy plant and machinery in the UK, as well as site construction service companies.

Meet Chris Read

Drawing from a background in heavy haulage and recovery from a family business, Chris is well-versed in plant and machinery within the extractables sector, coupled with technical expertise in fire mitigation on engines. Prior to joining Prometheus Medical International, Chris accrued 10 years of experience in a leading insulation and fire protection business.

Protecting your staff

Given that the manufacturing space often adheres to the HSE guidance of “First Aid at Work,” which limits businesses to rely on emergency services, there is a growing need to equip and empower the right individuals at the right place and time. This is particularly crucial as response times of emergency services have been increasing in recent years. Prometheus offers a range of solutions to enhance the skills of workers, provide clinical operating frameworks, and supported decision-making, thereby empowering the on-ground team to save and safeguard lives.

Prometheus instructors hosted a medical scenario demonstration day for a Consultancy and Training client to showcase and demonstrate to staff how to get the best out of Medical Scenario training. The staff had all previously completed First Response Emergency Care Level 3 RQF (FREC 3)  training with Prometheus and they attended the day to gain full insight into how they could facilitate their own scenario training for the rest of their departments, using SIMBODIES and casualty simulation make-up to recreate scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their sector.

SIMBODIES, who are also a part of the global company Safeguard Medical, are renowned for simulation and moulage equipment, designed to closely replicate the look and appearance of the human body.

Medical scenario training day

The day started with a fantastic hands-on, practical session from SIMBODIES who demonstrated applying realistic casualty simulation (cassim) makeup on casualty actors and the life-like SIMBODIES manikins. A full range of wounds and injuries were realistically recreated using simulation sleeves and wound prosthetics.

The scenarios and demonstrations during the day were designed to reflect the types of scenarios that our client’s emergency medical responders face in their workplace. All are First Response Emergency Care Level 3 RQF (FREC 3) trained by Prometheus, undertaking their responder role in addition to their main workplace role, so the medical scenarios and casualty simulation were designed to demonstrate their FREC 3 competencies and give them confidence to apply them in a real-world situation.

Scenarios included a cardiac arrest incident (Basic Life Support and AED skills), a multi-casualty incident involving a vehicle, and the casualties included multi-system trauma and medical emergency.

PHOTOS include: FREC 3 level students learning to apply moulage make-up to SIMBODIES to create wounds, plus a scenario scene created to depict a road traffic accident.
