The Emergency Nurses Association has established two new education partners to expand opportunities for nurses in Australia to advance their training in providing care to trauma patients.
Advanced Life Support Training and Coast Resuscitation Group have added ENA's Trauma Nursing Core Course to their education offerings for nurses, paramedics and other health care providers.
"TNCC provides nurses and paramedics with a structured, systematic approach to trauma assessment and management that translates directly into improved patient outcomes," said Steven Baldwin, Coast Resuscitation Group director and cofounder. "Including this course was a natural extension of our existing Advanced Life Support."
"When ENA developed TNCC, it created a gold-standard for preparing emergency department nurses to care for trauma patients," said ENA President Dustin Bass, DNP, MHA, RN, CEN, NEA-BC. "Working with qualified education partners like ALST and Coast Resuscitation Group means it will reach even more nurses who want to advance their clinical and critical-thinking expertise to deliver better care."
