The education of health care professionals in the early management of trauma is an essential part of optimising patient care and reducing preventable deaths.
All staff providing trauma management need appropriate education and skills in:
- resuscitation
- stabilisation
- continuing care.
The Western Australian Trauma and Education Unit (WATTEU) is mindful that efficient and effective trauma management depends on the provision of high quality education and training programs that meet the needs of staff receiving and managing trauma patients in WA.
WATTEU works with key stakeholders to develop, deliver and evaluate trauma training programs conducted throughout the State of WA.
