CCF Medic Day
On Wednesday 11th December, we were thrilled to welcome OW Major Megan Paveley, Lieutenant Colonel Katie Mieville, and Captain Tom Jenkins from the 2nd Armoured Medical Regiment to our School for a memorable CCF Medic Training Day and Operation Mendip Serpent.
The day began with clinical skills sessions led by the visiting doctors and nurses, where cadets gained hands-on experience in essential medical techniques. They learned about Crew Resource Management, the Care Under Fire guidelines, and advanced skills like placing a surgical airway. Additionally, cadets were introduced to battlefield casualty care using the MARCH and COMA protocols to assess and treat patients in high-pressure scenarios.
In the afternoon, the cadets had the opportunity to put their newly acquired skills into practice during Operation Mendip Serpent. This simulated mission challenged them to extract a casualty from the perilous “Sports Hall” while under fire from the opposing forces of Donovia. Once the patients were successfully extracted, they were transported to the Pre-Hospital Treatment Team, where cadets applied their training to stabilise and treat the casualties.
Congratulations to all our cadets for their outstanding effort and teamwork, with special recognition for our medics. They not only absorbed complex medical procedures in the morning but also demonstrated remarkable competence and composure in applying them during the intense afternoon scenario.
Thank you to Major Paveley, Lieutenant Colonel Mieville and Captain Jenkins for sharing their expertise and making this an unforgettable learning experience for our CCF cadets.
