Who?What?Where?Why?
We are a lively Casualties
Union Branch, originally formed in 1946. Consisting of over ten members
(see opposite) we are involved in the provision of casualties and make-up
for a wide variety of events. We also provide significant human resources
for the National organisation in the form of three Senior Instructors,
the Webmistress and the Public Relations Officer. We are based in
Reading, Berkshire with members from nearby counties including Hampshire.
In 2007, we won the Lotus
Trophy, awarded to the Branch who can provide the best evidence that they
are promoting the name of Casualties Union and maintaining the spirit as
the founder intended. In conjuction with this, our members also won the
Glaxo Slaver and John Wise Rosebowl .
ATLS
(Advanced Trauma Life Support)
With many years experience
in make-up techniques, we provide the most accurate simulations possible.
This enables the training of doctors to high standard and their assessment
against very realistic casualties (see photos).
