Purser and SCCM medical emergency training.
Prepare senior cabin crew to lead the event, consolidate information and keep the cockpit ready to make the next operational decision.
Lead the event when information remains incomplete.
Purser and SCCM must coordinate medical actions, cabin workload, passenger care and cockpit communication at the same time. A shared model reduces cognitive load and turns separate observations into one reliable situation picture.
Medical event leadership
Set priorities, allocate tasks and maintain crew performance while the event develops.
Shared situation picture
Bring warning signs, measures and progression into one consistent structure for cabin and cockpit.
SOP and checklist control
Lead the sequence without needing to perform every action or make a medical diagnosis personally.
Cockpit briefing
Pass decision relevant information in a short, complete and repeatable format.
Diversion decision support
Structure urgency, progression, available support and operational factors for the responsible flight deck.
Debrief and documentation
Make the decision path and actions traceable, then use the event to improve future performance.
A clearer picture for a difficult diversion decision.
The model helps senior crew collect the information that cockpit and any designated medical ground advisory service need. It supports a better founded decision and can help avoid unnecessary diversions. The operational decision remains with the responsible flight deck.
Lead, consolidate, brief and update.
Lead
Assign roles and keep the cabin response organised.
Consolidate
Turn observations, warning signs and measures into one situation picture.
Brief
Give cockpit and ground support the information relevant to the decision.
Update
Reassess the passenger and document how the situation and response develop.
Questions teams ask before they start.
01Does cabin crew decide whether to divert?+
No. The operational decision remains with the responsible flight deck. The course trains senior crew to collect, update and communicate the relevant medical information.
02How can the model help reduce unnecessary diversions?+
A consistent situation picture and repeated reassessment make communication between cabin, cockpit and any medical ground advisory service more reliable. This supports a better founded decision but does not guarantee a particular outcome or cost reduction.
03Can our existing communication model be included?+
Yes. The operator briefing format, escalation path, medical equipment and documentation process can be integrated into the scenarios.
04Is the course only for pursers?+
It is intended for anyone who leads or coordinates medical events in the cabin, particularly purser, SCCM and designated medical leads.
Give senior crew a stable model for the hardest decisions.
Share your SOPs, briefing structure and current training model. We will build the scenarios around the way your operation works.
