Major incident pre-hospital care

Major incidents are rare, but when they happen, they have the potential for devastating consequences. The pre-hospital management of major incidents follows the JESIP principles and focuses on the key concepts of command and control, safety and communication, followed by assessment and casualty management including the hierarchy of triage, treatment and transportation. An understanding of these processes is important knowledge for hospital staff.
