    • The principles of the Manchester Triage System are still followed with the use of the reductive methodology, however rather than choosing between 53 MTS presentational charts, the Nursing and Residential Triage tool comprises of just two charts; Illness and Injury.

      Some discriminators and definitions have also been amended to enable both nurses and residential care workers to use the tool. Using the NaRT tool does not require a clinical decision to be made, rather it asks the person making the assessment to make their way through a list of presenting symptoms and, where the patient displays any of the symptoms on the list, the outcome should be followed.

      Outcomes can be tailored to the availability of services in your area but in general the following services (or equivalent) would be required:
      • Ambulance service Clinical Hub, Single Point of Access or other locally agreed urgent care providers for amber outcomes
      • GP, Out Of Hours GP or District Nurse available for green outcomes
