Tactical Austere and Prehospital Ultrasound (TAPUS) is built for clinicians operating in austere, remote, and hostile environments where rapid ultrasound assessment can directly support early decision-making.

With a strong practical focus, the course develops usable, field-relevant ultrasound skills for operational care in demanding settings.

The CoROM Field Guide is a practical resource for medics and healthcare professionals working in remote, austere, and resource-limited environments.

Whether you are in the field, on deployment, offshore, or working far from immediate support, this guide was built with real-world practice in mind.

Digital access is available, and printed copies are limited, so now is a good time to get hold of one.

We have six places left for the PHTLS running 23-24 May. Tuition is €350.

The Austere Primary Course was designed by SOF Medics for SOF Medics. But anyone can take this course and upskill their DNBI. Disease and Non-Battle Injuries cause far more problems on deployment than trauma.
