EPICC Beginnings is a one day conference where healthcare students build upon knowledge and find out more about emergency/ pre-hospital medicine in a supportive environment. Participants can expect hands-on practice in key areas such as airway management, patient assessment, and trauma management. This is led by experienced clinicians and provides a unique opportunity to learn, ask questions, and refine skills, all while collaborating with peers from diverse healthcare backgrounds. Whether mastering basic techniques or exploring complex interventions, EPICC Beginnings is the perfect environment to build confidence at the beginning of your clinical journey.

EPICC Disaster conference is an intensive, two-day major trauma themed event designed to elevate students' skills and quick-thinking abilities in high-pressure environments. Day 1 kicks off with expert-led lectures, and workshops, providing the essential knowledge and confidence needed to tackle real-world challenges. On Day 2, participants face multiple high fidelity major incident simulations, working alongside and supervised by experienced clinicians. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their skills, ask questions, and gain invaluable insights from professionals in the field. The debriefs following each scenario also provide fantastic learning opportunities. EPICC Disaster is a fantastic opportunity for future healthcare providers, merging education and real-world practice in a dynamic and supportive setting.

Our lectures are delivered by various experienced clinicians from our clinical faculty. They share their insights and experiences on a huge variety of topics. The theory behind complex medical presentations is explained.

Professor Mike Tipton has previously delivered a fantastic lecture about drowning. We aim to deliver a lecture from a HEMS team member annually which is always particularly popular. There are a broad range of topics and excellent speakers who have delivered lectures for us in the past and we are always open to suggestions for the future.

We have held a set of A to E assessment workshops covering in detail the elements of this assessment and managing life threatening emergencies for each topic. This bridges the gap between theory and real-world application of clinical assessment and relevant interventions.

We have also had stand alone workshops with the fire service covering extrication and major incident management!
