NIGHTINGALE Publishes 8th Newsletter
Hi NIGHTINGALE subscribers,
Welcome to the eighth edition of our LinkedIn newsletter! NIGHTINGALE aims to advance prehospital life support and triage with innovative technologies and digital solutions.
In this newsletter, we focus on our 2nd Full-Scale Exercise and reflect on our 1st Full-Scale Exercise that took place earlier this year. We also look at recent and upcoming events.
The NIGHTINGALE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 10102195.
NIGHTINGALE Goes to Italy for the 2nd Full-Scale Exercise
This week, our NIGHTINGALE partners are heading to Savona, Italy as part of our 2nd Full-Scale Exercise. While the FSX gets underway on Saturday, many partners are already onsite engaging in preparation activities.
NIGHTINGALE’s 2nd Full-Scale Exercise
On Saturday, 5 October, the NIGHTINGALE Project will conduct a large-scale emergency response exercise in Savona, Italy, testing the innovative technologies developed as part of the NIGHTINGALE toolkit.
The event is organised and hosted by the Ministero dell’Interno in collaboration with Azienda Sanitaria Locale N.2 Savonese and will see a diverse group of volunteers, including members of civil protection agencies, such as emergency medical services, fire brigades, and police, as well as civic volunteers, participate in the exercise.
Up to 110 simulated casualties will be triaged and treated using NIGHTINGALE tools, showcasing the project’s potential to revolutionise emergency response. The total number of participants in the field, including victims and First Responders, will be over 300.
2nd International Workshop
On Monday, 7 October 2024, NIGHTINGALE will be hosting our 2nd International Workshop on Enhancing the capacity of the First Responders (FR) to save lives in Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) and Disasters.
Invited experts will speak about their experiences of handling mass casualty incidents in their respective countries. Discussions will cover challenges they faced and aspects that could enhance their action. Roundtables guided by NIGHTINGALE user experts will focus on user needs, and NIGHTINGALE technology experts will describe what the NIGHTINGALE toolkit can offer.
