    • Emergency Triage Instructor Training

      The aim of the course is to train key trainers from centres who wish to implement the Emergency Triage program. This course is aimed at senior Emergency Department nurses with a minimum of 2 years triage practice, and once completed will allow provider training to be cascaded in-house.




      MTS Instructor Courses

      The importance of implementing the triage methodology in a standard format cannot be stressed enough. Attendance at the national MTS instructor training days will ensure each centre is given appropriate direction and added information on dissemination of training and advice.

      Please also note that it is important that you have the correct licencing in place before implementing triage within your organisation. To learn more about this, see Licencing section above.

      Course Cost

      Important note about eligibility for Provider Course training

      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 for MTS professional statement 02/07/2021
