Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess mass casualty triage on documented evidence of consistent practice. Clinical staff will work around a process for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Every module pairs a short input on the practice within health and pharmaceutical services with structured practice on the participant's own material. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in mass casualty triage, not around theory headings. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of health and pharmaceutical services for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the health and pharmaceutical services discipline to standardise and which to leave flexible. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting mass casualty triage and under-invest in testing it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of health and pharmaceutical services that were visible long before the incident. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
