For David Nott, one of the world's most experienced trauma surgeons, this is the culmination of a week-long trip to Ukraine, during which he and his team will have trained dozens of local doctors. "I know what it's like to be under fire. I know what it's like to be in an operating theatre which is being shelled," he says.
Others here are civilian medics, learning new skills, because their hospitals are full of people with new kinds of injuries. He instructs the Ukrainian doctors in complex surgical techniques - such as how to deal with blood loss, how to quickly assess and stabilise a patient in the first few minutes, plastic surgery, and amputations.
