Following the success of the MIMMS Advanced courses, and in response to requests from Health Services, a MIMMS Team Member course was introduced in 2001.

The 1-day course uses those elements of the MIMMS Advanced course that are relevant for members of a medical/ambulance response team who will have a more ‘hands-on’ role in the field rather than a command or coordination role.

The course is recognised by MIMMS Australia and is held midweek in both Perth and certain regional areas.

Emergency personnel involved in emergency and disaster management (e.g. Police, DFES and SES) will find the course beneficial to understanding health and ambulance service roles and operating procedures at a major incident site.

MIMMS courses teach a systematic and practical approach to field medical management at disasters, which can be applied to any major incident.

The emphasis is on scene management and pre-hospital care, learned through:

• structured lectures
• table-top exercises
• practical exercises in radio communication
• casualty triage exercises
• workshops
• field exercises

If you are successful, MIMMS certification is valid for four years.
