Trauma first response: enhancing life-saving skills in primary care"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Severe trauma is a major cause of preventable mortality, and a significant proportion of critically injured patients first encounter a family doctor, particularly in rural, semi-urban or community settings. Early assessment using the XABCDE framework\u2014focusing on exsanguinating hemorrhage, airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure\u2014is internationally recognised (ATLS, PHTLS, ERC Trauma) as a life-saving priority during the first minutes of care. However, many family doctors report limited training, low confidence and lack of structured tools to approach trauma systematically in low-resource primary care environments. This workshop addresses a core clinical gap by providing a practical and scalable method for early trauma recognition and response.1.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Understand and apply the XABCDE primary survey of a injured patient. 2.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Identify time-critical findings requiring immediate action or urgent EMS activation. 3.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Perform simple, high-impact interventions (hemorrhage control, airway positioning, shock recognition). 4.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Improve structured communication with emergency services using recognised handover formats. 5.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Integrate trauma first-response principles into daily primary care practice.A 60-minute hybrid workshop combining: &#8211; Brief evidence-based theoretical input introducing the XABCDE sequence.&lt;br&gt; &#8211; Faculty-led demonstration of the primary survey using a simulated casualty.&lt;br&gt; &#8211; Participant guided analysis through short clinical vignettes and \u201cwhat-would-you-do\u201d scenarios.&lt;br&gt; &#8211; Interactive discussion focused on prioritisation, errors to avoid, and adaptation to different primary care contexts. 10 min \u2013 Introduction: epidemiology, role of the family doctor, rationale for XABCDE.&lt;br&gt; 15 min \u2013 Step-by-step explanation of XABCDE with real-case examples.&lt;br&gt; 20 min \u2013 Live demonstration of the primary survey + recognition of red flags.&lt;br&gt; 10 min \u2013 Interactive clinical cases: decision-making under time pressure.&lt;br&gt; 5 min \u2013 Key messages, takeaway tools and integration into practice.Participants will acquire a clear, structured approach for assessment of trauma, improved confidence in identifying life-threatening conditions, and practical skills applicable in pre-hospital environments. They will leave with actionable tools to improve patient safety, reduce delays in care and strengthen collaboration with emergency medical services.This workshop offers a concise, evidence-based and highly applicable framework to support family doctors in delivering rapid, safe and structured first-response care in severe trauma. The hybrid format maximises learning within 60 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19898","wsa_session","type-wsa_session","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session\/19898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wsa_session"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
