PHTLS courses have been proven to improve the quality of trauma care and decrease mortality through ongoing research and statistical data.

The programme is based on a philosophy stressing the treatment of the multi-system trauma patient as a unique entity with specific needs.

PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care.

Immediate Care Paramedics delivers the PHTLS course through evidence based lectures, skill stations and realistic moulaged patient scenarios, supported by the comprehensive PHTLS course book.
