To  non-UK list-members who are ATLS instructors...

I've been asked  to post an invitation to anyone who might be interested in 
coming over to  teach ATLS with us here in the UK. Our course centre has 
brought over  instructors from other countries - about 1 per course - and we 
usually have 5  dates per year (Jan, Apr, Jun, Sep, Oct). Would be a nice 
thing to have a  trauma surgeon on an ATLS course, no?

We generally tend to go  for the more experienced instructors, with the 
thinking that it would be  useful to have mastered the course content very 
solidly and confidently before  trying to fit in to a foreign medical system 
with its many unfamiliar aspects  and concepts. But the course we teach is the 
very same as the ACS course - it  IS the ACS course. Same presentations, 
same manual, same scenarios, same  everything. Those who are bothered by animal 
labs - worry not, as we do not  use them.

Feed back from past visitors (1 Canadian, 6 USA-ians)  has been VERY 
positive. ALL of them have already been back for a second  helping or are booked 
to return and all our faculty slots for 2009 are already  spoken for, but 
we're looking forward to 2010...

An opportunity  to experience a different system and see another part of 
the planet. Most past  visitors have chosen to also have a look around my 
hospital and ED and some,  of course, have used the course as an "excuse" to 
tour about the UK a  bit...

If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me  off  list.
