Cover of Civilian Casualty Care and Disaster Preparedness: Iranian and Israeli clinicians training together

An Iranian and Israeli framework for simulation training and community response.

A practical, 41-page English book connecting major trauma care, disaster preparedness and early civilian response. It proposes a shared training framework for Iranian and Israeli clinicians and community education for diaspora populations in the UK, US, EU and elsewhere.

From shared knowledge to prepared teams

The book brings together the author’s Philosophy of Major Trauma and civilian emergency-care teaching with selected published disaster-medicine work by Dr Debra Gershov-West and colleagues, alongside current official emergency-care resources. It develops an original curriculum around situational awareness, safe early action, communication, triage, organised clinical care and repeated simulation.

Inside the book

  • 15 chapters covering collaboration, preparedness, community early care, clinical priorities, incident coordination, psychological support and course governance.
  • Eight fictional simulation scenarios with roles, prompts, expected actions, assessment criteria and debrief questions.
  • A proposed two-day clinician course and four-hour community course.
  • Five practical appendices: readiness checks, observation and assessment, handover, community reminders and improvement records.
  • 22 numbered references, a source map and a clear distinction between published evidence and the proposed programme.

A humanitarian purpose

The aim is to turn friendship between Iranians and Israelis into practical cooperation that protects civilian life. Preparedness addresses conflict, targeted violence, disasters and everyday emergencies. Care is based on need, regardless of nationality, religion or political opinion; awareness focuses on credible threats and behaviour, without profiling communities.

Using this edition

This is an educational framework for locally supervised training. It is not an accredited qualification or an operational deployment plan. The host clinical lead must review the curriculum and local protocols before teaching. Community learners and clinicians have separate scopes, and practical skills require appropriate instruction and assessment.

Dr Gershov-West and her colleagues are cited as source authors, not as co-authors, reviewers or confirmed partners. No institutional endorsement is claimed. The proposed collaboration requires agreement by participating clinicians and organisations.
