Welcome to the IMPACT and Resus Room Extrication Course: Modern Rescue with Patient-Centred Care

Motor vehicle collisions are sudden, chaotic, and unforgiving. What happens in the moments after a crash can make the difference between recovery and tragedy.

This course is about more than cutting metal — it’s about saving lives through smarter, faster, and safer decisions. Whether you’re a firefighter, police officer, or paramedic, your actions at the scene shape patient outcomes.

Over the next two hours, you’ll hear from experts, see real-world scenarios, and explore the latest evidence behind extrication practices. Together, we’ll challenge long-held beliefs, introduce new tools like the U-STEP Out approach, and put patient-centred rescue at the heart of every decision.

So buckle in. Press play. And prepare to rethink what you know about getting people out — and getting them the care they need.
