SATS instructor courses

A bespoke instructors course is held at regular intervals during the year.
​
What will I learn?
This course will teach you how to teach others how to use the SATS, organise and run a successful course, and set up a triage group within your facility that can drive triage quality.  It is a 2-day course.
  • Day 1 of the course is a standard triage provider course and all candidates must get the course minimum of 80% to proceed to Day 2.  
  • Day 2 of the course will cover various topics including breaking down the providers course for training, setting up a triage task team, dealing with challenges on the course and in triage, etc.  Although Day 1 is a bog-standard triage providers course, Day 2 is a very interactive day with lots of group participation and mock-up activities.

Who should be trained?
For the initial courses it is advised that all, or most of the following personnel be included:
  • Nursing operational manager of the EC
  • Head clinical unit or head of department/ EM consultant/ Family Physician
  • Identified instructor for facility – This can be any personnel member who would be a good triage trainer/ instructor and can be a doctor/ nursing personnel/ education department personnel, preferably someone that will be at the facility for a prolonged period of time to continue training.

​(Candidates who are already full providers and were nominated by their facility for instructor training may apply to register for Day 2 only (if this applies to you, please contact Ms Lukho Lufuta​ to apply)​
