We provide trauma courses to support clinicians caring for the injured patient.

Australian trauma team training (ATTT)
ATTT is a multi-professional, multidisciplinary simulation-based course that addresses teamwork skills and clinical practice relevant to trauma management. ATTT was originally created by ITIM in collaboration with the Sydney Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre in 2006, and revised in February 2023.
ATTT is facilitated locally by each trauma service in NSW. Many local services have adopted the original one-day course to suit their local needs and constraints.
Email ACI-Trauma@health.nsw.gov.au for more details on the course and access to training materials.

We previously organised and hosted AIS training. Faculty who provide the training will be taking over management of the courses. Email ACI-Trauma@health.nsw.gov.au to express interest.
