ICRC colleagues from 18 country delegations joined together with colleagues from the First Aid and Prehospital Emergency Care and Hospital teams in Geneva for a 5 day training designed to equip them with the knowledge and skills to facilitate the development, dissemination and delivery of mass casualty plans. Collective experiences were shared and learned from with a blended multimodal learning approach which included using the EMERGO vertical table top tool to ‘stress and test’ systems, tools and processes with the aim of developing or improving mass casualty plans.

The course was specifically for Region Stockholm and participants were from different hospitals in the greater Stockholm region. They can now set up and run trainings and exercises with the help of ETS in their own hospitals. Several health care regions in Sweden are using ETS as a tool for training in emergency and disaster medicine as well as psychosocial support.
