The Major Incident Medical Management and Support (MIMMS) course,
developed by the Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG), is taught to
healthcare professionals worldwide. Integrated into both civilian and
military medical practice, MIMMS is the only international standard in
major incident medical management - focused on delivering the medical
support needed to many casualties through triage, treatment and
transport. The Fourth Edition of Major Incident Medical Management and
Support: The Practical Approach at the Scene is the most current
coursebook for the MIMMS curriculum.
This new edition has been fully revised to ensure doctors, nurses and
paramedics are able to prepare for, and implement, a structured response
to major incidents such as those involving hazardous materials, natural
disasters, mass gatherings, multiple burn casualties and large numbers
of children. The wide range of topics covered include communications,
personal and medical equipment, command and control, planning,
assessment and the psychological aspects of major incidents. This new
edition also includes:
- Practical information and clear guidelines for medical professionals
delivering care to multiple casualties at the scene both during and
after an incident
- The organisations, structures and different roles involved in the
medical management of major incidents
- Contributions from an international team of experts in fields
including emergency medicine and nursing, fire and rescue services,
disaster preparedness and response and emergency transport
- Appendices covering responsibility for the dead, radio use and voice
procedures, the media, the hospital response and the steps to take
beyond the immediate situation
Major Incident Medical Management and Support is required reading for
all those undertaking the MIMMS education programme.
