The NCCTRC’s Regional Engagement Program recently delivered the inaugural Trauma in Timor-Leste (TITL) program in Dili. Funded by the Australian Government the program was adapted from the NCCTRC’s Remote Area Trauma Education (RATE) course to ensure relevance to the Timor-Leste context. The curriculum was developed in collaboration with the Timor-Leste National Institute of Public Health (INSPTL) and Maluk Timor along with the NCCTRC’s Trauma Service, and emergency physicians from the Royal Darwin Hospital, who have long standing relationships with Hospital Nacional Guido Valadares - HNGV. The course aims to equip first responders, including ambulance services, and health professionals from community health centres and emergency departments with the skills to effectively manage trauma patients in the hours after an incident. Participants engaged in clinical skill stations covering haemorrhage control, splinting, burns first aid and fluid management. They also participated in practical exercises and discussions focused on packaging for transport and clinical handover. Muito obrigada to INSPTL for their hard work behind the scenes, including translation and coordination, and to Maluk Timor for providing interpreters who ensured participants had a supportive and effective learning environment. #Congratulations to all the participants who attended the course.

[Source: Cardiac Risk in the Young] 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 Children, due to their smaller size and unique physiology, require a reduced current to defibrillate their heart. 📍 𝐏𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐬.

By raising awareness about the importance of AED and CPR training, we can equip more people with the skills needed to save young lives. Think about the difference you can make: a young life saved, a family spared from heartbreak, a community strengthened. Together, we can improve survival rates and create a community of lifesavers. Your actions matter. Your training can be the difference between life and death. Let’s work together to ensure more children have a chance at a bright future.
