INTERNATIONAL ROAD RESCUE AND TRAUMA CONSULTANCY LTD.

Company description

International Road Rescue & Trauma Consultancy Ltd – (IRRTC) are a specialist International rescue consultancy who specialise in vehicle extrication and trauma training to a worldwide audience. Our consultants are handpicked and extremely experienced in the field of vehicle extrication and trauma training and have a wide range of competencies and skills in their areas of expertise. All have a proven track record of first class delivery across many countries and many cultures of the world. All of our directors and trainers have many years of experience as operational medics and emergency rescue responders and who have excelled in their chosen professions (That’s why we use them!). In addition, all trainers have relevant teaching qualifications in order to impart their knowledge to others in a relaxed yet professional manner. In addition to the grief and suffering they cause, road traffic collisions constitute an important public health and development problem with significant health and socioeconomic costs. Considerable economic losses are not only incurred by victims and their families, but also by nations as a whole: road crashes cost most countries 1–3% of their gross national product. The unfortunate reality is that even with the great work being carried out by numerous organisations globally to reduce road deaths and injuries is that there will be times when these terrible accidents still occur and we at IRRTC believe that we can make an impact in supporting rescue responder’s worldwide in reducing the impact of these incidents by providing expert training in both their medical and technical response capabilities. Whilst data is limited, the proportion of patients who die before reaching hospital in low- and middle-income countries is estimated as at least twice that in high-income countries, suggesting that strengthening pre-hospital systems could have enormous global impact in reducing fatalities.
