What is the European Trauma Course?
​
The European Trauma Course (ETC) is a 2½-day advanced life-support programme for all physicians and nurses involved in the immediate care of major trauma patients. The course combines up-to-date trauma care with focused training in teamwork, communication, and human-factor skills.
Delivered in small groups that mirror real trauma teams, the majority of the course is provided as hands-on, scenario-driven practice, ensuring skills that translate directly to the clinical frontline.
