During his time in the Defence Forces, Dr Berry served in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East, leading the Army Ranger Wing when it was deployed to Chad in 2008. The trauma project was commenced at UCD’s Centre for Emergency Medical Science in response to a request from the Ukrainian authorities. Prof Gerard Bury, director of CEMS, has been leading the initiative with UCD colleague, Prof Chris Fitzpatrick, who has also organised fundraising events in Ireland.
Some of the training has also focused on treating chemical, radiological and other burns. The Irish medics previously delivered kits to their Ukrainian colleagues that each cost about €1,000 and contain TXA, a drill to access the bone and needles for four patients.
