Major Incident Management System (MIMS) by Timothy J. Hodgetts (University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK)
This highly practical aid to management of major incidents is the refined and improved new edition of Prehospital Emergency Management Master. Concentrating on the essential elements in treatment and transport of the wounded in a major incident this new system provides easily assimilable information on:
- symbols and terminology; first actions; METHANE report; command; safety; communications; triage; treament; transport
- the system is produced on waterproof pages, and includes 12 separate action cards for use by auxiliary helpers, and a log for recording the facts.
The complete package comes in a handy sized ring binder, allowing users to add their own local notes. The use of colour and easily recognisable icons makes this a valuable aid even in the most difficult conditions.
