Simon Regard (HUG), Eric Golay (HUG) and Dominique Jaccard (HEIG-VD, Albasim) used the “Major Incident Medical Simulation” to lead four training sessions for paramedics and emergency medical doctors.
The feedback from the 38 participants was generally very positive regarding the relevance of the simulation as a training tool. Our observations and the participants’ feedback will enable us to still improve the simulation.

Success of the pre-triage workshop during the JTR
At the Journée Technique Romande (JTR) for advanced medical posts, Xavier Good (Albasim) and Eric Golay (HUG) led a workshop based on our simulation of casualty pre-triage. Throughout the morning, five sessions brought together ten groups of participants from various backgrounds—doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, and first responders—to discover and test the pre-triage simulation.

Despite limited learning time, the participants quickly took ownership of the simulation. Initially designed for individual use, the tool demonstrated its full potential in group work. The exchanges, debates, and comparison of viewpoints helped enrich the collective reflection on triage criteria, while revealing differences in reasoning across professions.
The experience also confirmed the complementarity between individual and collective use: the former promotes rigor and autonomy, while the latter develops critical perspective and richness of discussion. Together, they offer a complete pedagogical approach that is both stimulating and formative.
Given the interest generated and the number of participants, the tool is positioned as a promising resource for future training in disaster medicine and pre-hospital pre-triage.
