SSST Students Successfully Complete Major Incident Simulation Training at the University of Buckingham

Last week, SSST University students visited the University of Buckingham, UK, to take part in an intensive training program focused on major incident response. The visit marked the beginning of a promising collaboration between SSST and the University of Buckingham Medical School, emphasizing hands-on education and skill-building in emergency scenarios.

During the first days, students underwent basic training and introductory sessions designed to familiarize them with protocols and responsibilities in the case of a natural or man-made disaster. This preparation set the stage for the highlight of the visit — a full-scale Major Incident Simulation held on the Buckingham campus.

The simulation offered students an invaluable opportunity to experience realistic crisis response conditions, requiring quick decision-making, teamwork, and medical intervention under pressure.

We extend our sincere thanks to our hosts and partners at the University of Buckingham: Chris Maskell, Joanne Selway, Kirsty Harvey, Lorna Richards, Jake Piper, Annie Rowbotham, Pam Truesdale, Harriet Dunbar-Morris, Naseer Al-Jawad, Hongbo Du, and Mohamed Zaibi. Your dedication and support have made this experience truly meaningful for our students.

We look forward to continuing this collaboration and creating new learning opportunities together.
