Important Information

The Manchester Triage System (MTS) was developed solely for registered Health Care Professionals (HCPs) due to the clinical skills and knowledge, required to assess needs and plan care, when performing a triage assessment. MTG will not support organisations allowing the use of MTS by staff who are non-HCPs (staff below Band 5 UK or international equivalent). In any medical negligence proceedings where the court requests evidence, MTG will send a letter to this effect. Click here to read the full rationale statement.
