NZ Triage Course

Triage Courses are potentially impacted by the COVID-19 Alert levels.

Thank you for registering for the CENNZ Triage courses.  We would like to keep you updated on the status of the courses during the current COVID-19 Alert levels. 

As the government has indicated, our Level 4 period gives Aotearoa time to safely better understand the scale of community transmission.  We'll do the same and take a breath to better consider the possibilities of holding the courses for the rest of 2021 as scheduled or activating our contingency plan. Our priority is to keep you and our Emergency Nursing whanau safe. 

We will be in touch with those registered once the government has outlined the next steps.  There are certain decisions that need to be made regarding venues, travel, course participants and instructor availability. 

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. 

Statement

Triage is an advanced assessment skill.  It is desirable that the course participant has a minimum of two years emergency or urgent care nursing experience or equivalent.  They should have completed New Zealand Resuscitation Council level 6 or equivalent prior to the course.

Nurses who do not meet this criteria will need a letter of support from their manager or nurse educator and will be accepted at the discretion of the course co-ordinator.

Each course has a good 4-6 weeks of pre-course work before attendance. You need to make the commitment to be available to do this work when applying to attend any particular course.

The number of participants per course is a maximum of 24.
Courses can be booked out months in advance.
