It’s been a privilege to spend the week working alongside Dubai Police as part of an international peer training programme bringing together some of the strongest extrication practitioners in the world.

The peer trainers represented rescue capability, with experienced professionals from the USA, UK and Portugal — individuals who operate at the highest levels of technical rescue and patient-centred extrication. The depth of operational insight, competition experience and real-world application of training has been exceptional.

This wasn’t about one group delivering instruction. It was about global collaboration — sharing evidence, challenging assumptions, refining technique and aligning around a clinically driven rescue philosophy.

Throughout the week we explored:
• Casualty-centred extrication decision making
• Proportional stabilisation and early access principles
• Integrating command, clinical and technical roles effectively
• Modern vehicle technology and evolving hazard profiles
• Reducing time to definitive care with self-extrication and an ‘all patients are time dependent’ methodology (in line with the latest clinical guidance).

What stood out was the shared ambition to improve. Different countries, different response startergies — but the same goal: safer responders and better patient outcomes.

International peer learning at this level strengthens the global rescue community. The conversations we’ve had this week will influence training, standards and operational thinking well beyond the training arena.

Thank you to everyone involved for the professionalism, openness and commitment to excellence. This is how we collectively raise the bar. 🚓🚒🚑

Next the UAE 2026 Rescue Challenge. Starts tomorrow 15th February.
