It is vital to share lessons learned from high acuity low frequency events to understand health care responses from each unique context. @TheIBRN is leading the way in improving blast resilience in systems and communities. @JackWDenny

To implement the #Declaration, we need to understand the blast effects of what we are trying to protect people from. @AOAV and @TheIBRN's @JackWDenny explored why engineering-perspectives matter when discussing the protection of civilians from #EWIPA.👇 aoav.org.uk/2024/implementin…

This week marks 5 years since we started the @TheIBRN 🤯😊 see this article by @Research_UoS to find out more about the network’s mission, or check out our website - blastinjurynetwork.com
Blast research has long focused on military, not civilian priorities. Dr Rebecca Genny-Brown, @Jim_batch and @JackWDenny from @UniSouthampton have set out to change this - read more: buff.ly/3Tz3TN6 @TheIBRN
