Practitioner Training Day

This one-day ALERT training course combines interactive workshops and a series of role-play scenarios. The topics covered during the training day complement the chapters in the course manual and the e-Learning content. The scenarios permit the reinforcement of the patient assessment system within a team approach and allow the practice of simple therapeutic manoeuvres in a simulated and safe environment. Delivered to 20 staff with a ratio of one faculty to 5 participants, the day can include a continuous assessment that leads to the award of an ALERT Practitioner Certificate for those achieving the required standard. Subjects covered are:

• Safety & Infection Control
• Assessing the Critically Ill Patient, ABCDE
• Full Patient Assessment – Decisions and Planning
• Blue and Breathless Patient
• Hypotensive Patient
• Patient with Disordered Conscious Level
• Oliguric Patient
• Sepsis

The ALERT Reference Manual

Each Practitioner Training Day participant receives a comprehensive ALERT reference manual that can provide on-going support and revision for those implementing the ALERT principles.
