This presentation from ATMC19 is by two close friends of ours at ATMA, SCst Dustin "Dusty" Osborne an experienced general duties QPS officer and Prue Snedden a HARU CCP from QAS.

Dustin was fundamental in the roll-out and implementation of the QPS Tactical First Aid program which has seen over 11,000 QPS officers trained in tactical first aid which includes tourniquet (haemorrhage control), chest seals, wound packing and a variety of other critical skills. The program was unprecedented with outstanding results, receiving a winning award at the 2019 World Class Policing Awards as a testament to their efforts.

Prue is a highly experienced CCP with the QAS HARU unit which consists of a small number of very highly trained paramedics that have and continue to push the boundaries of paramedicine and prehospital trauma care in Australia. Prue reflects on how medics can better facilitate the paradigm shift amongst LE to empower our colleagues to train and implement life-saving care.
