Training in Sweden

Hotel: Sky Hotel Apartments (Linköping, Sweden)

As I mentioned earlier, Timm and I were invited as guest lecturers on an Advanced Trauma Course to be held in Linköping, Sweden end of January



Our flight booking to Stockholm was via Oslo and to make matters worse, our Munich flight departed late which meant we ended up missing our connecting flight.... With all the resultant rebookings of flights and trains, final arrival time at our Hotel Bed was at 1:30am the next morning!!!

The Trauma Course was held for a group of specialised Military & Police operators, designed to prepare and revise the essential skills of arresting catastrophic bleeding and treating traumatic injuries. 

While only 3 days in duration, days were intense and long, barely enough time to have a shower in the morning and catch a few hours of sleep. Quite a culture shock for us having lazed around for the last few months :)

One thing I did enjoy was the enthusiasm of the students as well as the Instructors. We had experienced military & civilian medics as well as a few surgeons and the idea interchange and the learning curve (even for me) was great

Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures but we're off to the UK now for 5 days....
