abstract="Any major incident will test the organisational and medical skills of those involved. The best response can only be achieved with good planning and preparation, and the adoption of a structured approach to the scene. A clear chain of command should exist within all emergency services and must be followed. The Ambulance and Medical Incident officers take overall responsibility for the health service response. Management priorities--Command and Control, Safety, Communications, Assessment--must take precedence over support priorities--Triage, Treatment, Transport.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
