A new seminar theatre dedicated to training will feature at The Emergency Services Show which returns to the NEC in Birmingham on September 23 and 24, 2015. Free seminars will be led by trainers who run specialist courses for emergency services personnel.
The exhibition for emergency responders has already attracted training providers of the industry including the Tactical Training Centre, NHS Ambulance Service First Aid Training consortia (NASFAT), Fire Training Group, PGI Training, Ferno, University of St Andrews, Coventry University and London Metropolitan University.
Organisers will also be running seminars on multi-agency working and innovation (launched at the 2014 event), as well as the College of Paramedic CPD Workshops. Meanwhile the indoor and outdoor exhibition will feature over 400 companies and bodies, some of whom will run workshops and live demonstrations on their own stands.
An Emergency Response Zone is a networking focus of the exhibition and will feature new exhibitors this year including Fire Brigades Union, Arson Prevention Forum, CFB Risk Management, South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and Road Safety GB Academy.
John Halfpenny, policing skills trainer, West Mercia and Warwickshire Police described last year’s show as “an invaluable and enjoyable chance to network and appreciate the challenges, strengths and capabilities of partner agencies in the emergency services and support organisations or responders,” while Mark Atton, ERA head of defence called it “a great one stop shop for emergency services capability, intelligence and expertise.”
“The exhibition halls will be buzzing with knowledge and expertise and we urge officers of all ranks, across all emergency services, to take full advantage,” says event director David Brown.
