ATAAC

Walton is the only post 16 provider in the country to partner up with ATACC (anaesthesia, trauma and critical care) to provide an extraordinary enrichment opportunity.

Students perform as injured members of the public to give medical students the experience of dealing with trauma incidents as part of their training. ATACC runs four times throughout the academic year. For many students it is the highlight of their post 16 studies, and for others, it has inspired them to pursue careers in acting and medicine
