About this course
  • Are you required to effec­tive­ly and effi­cient­ly assess and triage emer­gency patients and pri­ma­ry pre­sen­ta­tions in your work?

  • Are you famil­iar with the Aus­tralasian Triage Scale and Emer­gency Triage Edu­ca­tion Kit?

TEC Inten­sive deliv­ers the same con­tent from our tra­di­tion­al face-to-face course but allows you to engage from the com­fort of home or work, immerse your­self in the con­tent, and engage with oth­er prac­ti­tion­ers via our online dis­cus­sion boards.

The course is designed to meet the learn­ing needs of the remote and rur­al health work­force, espe­cial­ly nurs­es and rur­al gen­er­al prac­ti­tion­ers who may be required to per­form triage.
