A pilot study to evaluate the utility of live training (LIVEX) in the operational preparedness of UK military trauma teams

Abstract

Completing LIVEX made no statistically significant difference to participants' personal perception of their own operational preparedness, but the perception of LIVEX as an appropriate training platform improved significantly after conducting the training exercise.

Errors in Medicine During the Covid Crisis

“…Training exercises in the military context reduce the risk of "invalidation". Candidates for the 2015 LIVEX (Live Training in Exercise) pilot project have proved to be a good way to stay ready for operation [8]. This is especially true in the military medical environment where HOSPEX (hospital movement simulation) is deployed [9].…”

Reducing medical error during a pandemic

“…7 it a suitable means to ensure operational preparedness was maintained. 8 This is particularly pertinent in the military medical setting when a HOSPEX (hospital exercise simulation) is employed (Fig. 2a and b).…”
