Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Major Incidents are described as being in three phases: Preparation, Response, and Recovery.

We are all always in the preparation phase, which includes planning, equipping, and training. Whether you are a commander or a responder, the Major Incident Medical Management & Support (MIMMS) course is a superb way of understanding how healthcare shapes its response to a major incident.

Governed by the world-renowned Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG) this course covers what major incidents are, the principles of working during them and some key tools such as communication forms and triage.

If you potentially might be a commander at an incident, you are now required to undertake CPD, and the MIMMS course is the ideal way of undertaking some formal education to add to your portfolio. This will support you in complying with the National Occupational Standards Framework.

Internationally recognised, the HMIMMS course is helping hospitals prepare to respond to a major incident.

Major Incidents end up at hospitals. Sometimes the hospital is the major incident. The Major Incident Medical Management & Support: The Practice Approach at the Hospital (HMIMMS) course helps prepare staff to pivot the hospital to Major Incident footing.

Emergency Planners often take away significant numbers of ways to improve their plans from this course. Front line clinicians increase their confidence, so they would respond optimally. Feedback from previous particiy increasing wellbeing by offering a sense of psychological safety around the rational fears of that day of days.
