ETAT (Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment ) Course

Annual ETAT+ Instructors day held 21 Jan. in the seminar room at the KEMRI/WT centre. Sponsored by Hillman Fund


Half of the day was dedicated to a review of changes in the science literature behind the guidelines and the research going on around the implementation of the training and materials. The rest of the day was spent in discussions of the directions ETAT+ will go, funding and discussions of educational topics.
