DSTC/DATC/DPNTC
- Monday 23rd March – Wednesday 25th March 2026
The Definitive Surgical Trauma Care (DSTC) course is recommended by The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons for all Consultant Surgeons and final year trainees.
The Definitive Anaesthetic Trauma Care (DATC) course will provide multidisciplinary training to consultant anaesthetists and anaesthetic fellows (post-exam) involved in trauma.
The Definitive Perioperative Nurses Trauma Care (DPNTC) course is held in conjunction with the DSTC course. It is aimed at instrument and anaesthetic nurses who have a minimum of two years’ recent clinical experience in a perioperative setting and allows them to develop their knowledge and skills in a multidisciplinary environment. For perioperative nurses, the DPNTC course provides equivalent hours towards annual continuing professional development (CPD) as outlined by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
The Military Module is open to surgeons, anaesthetists and nurses, and to both civilians and military personnel. It is a one day program relevant to those interested in humanitarian surgery. The module is a combination of lectures, case studies and practical stations led a faculty of top military surgeons and anaesthetists. The MILMOD can be attended by anyone who has completed a DSTC, DATC or DPNTC course.
