SMR Incident Management 2025 (Stirling Court Hotel)
Description:
In the context of People, Process and Partnership the course aims and objectives are:
- Deliver coordination practices to lead an incident on the basis of a common mental model
- Provide tools and methodologies to effectively coordinate an incident
- Explore teamworking and leadership dynamics
At the end of this course, delegates will be expected to be able to:
- have the skills and tools to be able to effectively coordinate a mountain rescue incident
- to have an awareness and understanding of teamwork and leadership dynamics
- utilise additional information provided during the course in relation to partner agencies and additional support they can provide to facilitate the running of the incident
Whilst an awareness of mountain rescue incident management and co-ordination would be beneficial to attendees, this course should appeal to both aspirant and experienced team members who already carry out the role.
The weekend schedule will include a mix of presentations, external speakers and practical scenarios to support open discussion around a variety of related topics including:
- Human Factors
- Decision Making
- Effective Communication
- Team Structure
- Administration to record, decide and support
- Briefing / Debriefing
- Helicopter tasking and support
- Technology
- Media
- Practical Scenarios
- Peer Shared learning
- Scene Management
- Ongoing Wellbeing Support
Although this course is no substitute for experience, by the end of the weekend we would expect delegates to have the knowledge to begin to work within their team’s existing incident management structure to build practical experience and to be able to run low complexity incidents.
