Associate Medical Instructor (Contractor)

Company Overview

Trauma Resus was founded in 2005 by healthcare professionals, who recognised the need for non-healthcare professionals to be able to provide lifesaving assistance in advance of the emergency services. In addition to its European operation, Trauma Resus is also incorporated in the USA, where it is headquartered in New York.

While basic first aid has a role to play, many organisations find themselves in a scenario where help is not readily available, and they need to be more self-sufficient during a medical emergency. This is where advanced first aid comes in, and Trauma Resus specialises in empowering organisations to implement an emergency response that fits their risk profile. With one overarching aim Trauma Resus wants to “improve casualty care, improve casualty outcomes and ultimately save lives”

Trauma resus is part of Gibb Group - the industry’s leading provider of PPE and MRO products and services as well as one of the energy sector’s most experienced, qualified suppliers. Available globally, our extensive product range is backed by in-house expertise that adds value and ensures our clients’ Offshore teams and assets are protected at all times.
