experience, as well as the daily services provided to London’s more than

are consistent with the attention dedicated by the Abu Dhabi Police to
qualifying emergency response teams and honing their skills, by adopting
the best practices that contribute to saving lives, reducing the risk
of complications, and providing advanced care to handle all pre-hospital
emergency challenges.

Emergency and Public Safety Department praised the valuable information
provided by the workshops, which included an introduction and overview
of London’s Air Ambulance who is celebrating 25 years of the capital’s
flying emergency service and saved the lives of more than 30,000 people.
“The workshops also tackled various topics; namely, the role of
pre-hospital doctors in the international response to humanitarian
disasters around the world; crew resource management at complex
pre-hospital scenes; opportunities for medical students in pre-hospital
care, emergency thoracotomy and emergency neurosurgery; resuscitative
endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA)and pre-hospital
advanced airway,” explained Lieutenant Colonel Al Ameri.
The

pre-hospital emergency teams; damage control anesthesia in pre-hospital
interventions in injuries caused by road accidents, motorcycle burns and
accidents, major falls, pre-hospital blood transfusion in civilian
traumas and explosions. The conference also provided an introduction to
emergency care in remote areas, such as drowning, hypothermia,
frostbites; the challenges in difficult water surfaces, the effects of

noted that the conference tackled disaster medicine and emergency
response to humanitarian disasters; anesthesia and orthopedic surgeries
in disaster areas; mental health needs and injuries of displaced
