Disaster Medicine Gaming sessions

This year, the Hospital Disaster Preparedness (HDP) and Resilient Society working groups of the Disaster Medicine Section have organised two outstanding, highly educational gaming sessions.

1. The first 30 minutes of a hospital disaster plan

The evacuation plan is activated … What are you going to do on the ward? 

What are the most important steps: who – calls – who? First response, first response team, incident managers … and where are the guidelines, action cards? Are you going to evacuate and … where to?  Where should the patients be taken? What is the role of the ED?

The Working Group on Hospital Disaster Preparedness (HDP) have organised a highly educational and entertaining game which will improve your hospital disaster plan with deeper understanding of the process and challenges to obtain excellence in your Hospital Incident Management System.
