Provision of cadaveric and non-cadaveric simulation facilities and resources

The Contractor is to :

• a.Source, supply and maintain appropriate resources to deliver a training course aimed at preparing delegates to deliver military Damage Control Resuscitation & Surgery and prepare patient/s for critical care transportation in a deployed team.

• b.Provide a Human Tissue Authority licensed surgical skills workshop facility to enable surgeons to undertake technical skills training on human cadavers.

• c.Supply, prepare, maintain and dispose of up to 4 (fresh or thawed from frozen) full human cadavers in accordance with the Human Tissue Act 2004 and requirements of the UK Human Tissue Authority for a maximum of 5 days of surgical technical skills training.

• d.The contractor should provide appropriate surgical sets, PPE and consumables.

• e.The contractor should provide access to a 'simulation suite' co-located alongside the cadaveric working area that enables teams to train supervised by a remote faculty, with play-back capability for subsequent review and analysis.

• f.The contractor should provide a high fidelity mannikin which can feedback to candidates' physiological parameters.

• g.The contractor should provide access to a surgical immersive task trainer that can enable surgical tasks to be performed in both real time task training and immersive simulation scenarios.

• h.The contractor should provide access to a lecture theatre to enable briefing of all delegates and faculty.

• i.The cadaveric facility must have an appropriately sized room to erect a tent with the dimensions of 5.5 x 7.5 metres and height 3.5 metres to mimic the deployed military medical treatment facility for the non-cadaveric simulation.

• j.The training must be provided during the period 9-30 Sep 22 because this training must fit into a complex pre-deployment training pathway, the rest of which is already fixed.
