If Chase Lancaster had been flown to the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center just a few years earlier, he likely would not have survived the trip. In part two of his story, see how advances in trauma care kept him alive as he lost 40 liters of blood.

Over the last few weeks, The ATACC Group has been privileged to support a number of Counter Terrorism exercises delivered across the North West alongside our emergency service partners. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Police, Fire and Rescue, and Ambulance Services for inviting us to assist exercise planners in facilitating casualty management during several training scenarios. These exercises play a vital role in strengthening multi-agency interoperability, testing systems and processes, and ensuring that responders are prepared to deliver effective casualty care in challenging environments. We would also like to thank the ATACC faculty members who volunteered their time to support these events and contribute to the wider learning process throughout the exercises and debriefs. In addition, thank you to the North West pre-hospital critical care charity for supporting us on selected exercise days and for their continued commitment to collaborative training and patient care excellence. Opportunities like these reinforce the importance of partnership working, shared learning, and continued training in preparing for high-threat, high-consequence incidents. Thank you again to everyone involved for their professionalism, dedication, and continued commitment to protecting our communities. #TheATACCGroup #CounterTerrorism #EmergencyServices #Interoperability #PreHospitalCare #MajorIncidentManagement #TacticalMedicine #Training #OrganisationalLearning
