A MAJOR incident exercise involving students from paramedics, medicine and nursing, alongside personnel from the emergency services, was staged at University of Limerick on Thursday.
The immersive simulation, the largest of its kind ever to take place in Ireland, was designed to prepare both students and professionals for a multi-casualty, major incident where an interprofessional response is required across multiple agencies.
Members of Limerick Fire and Rescue Service, National Ambulance Service (NAS), Explosive Ordnance Division (EOD) of the Irish Defence Forces (bomb squad), An Garda Siochána Armed Support Unit, and Limerick Civil Defence were also involved in this highly realistic operation.
