Level 3 Trauma Training Enhanced Practice: Safety & Stabilisation

Overview and Purpose

The Scottish Government Survivor Scotland Strategies Outcomes & Priorities (2015-2017) recommended that NHS Education for Scotland (NES) develop a national trauma training framework. The Epione Trauma Training Enhanced Practice course is designed to cover key learning outcomes in line with this framework to increase knowledge, skills & practice to maintain regular contact with people affected by trauma by providing support, advocacy, or interventions.

recognises the importance of wellbeing in the workforce
recognises where people are affected by trauma and adversity
responds in ways that prevent further harm
supports recovery
and can address inequalities and improve life chances
is informed by people with lived experience
