TNCC Course

Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC)
TNCC is a 2-Day intensive course that is taught by expert instructors designed to provide the registered nurse with relevant cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills to manage trauma patients in the resuscitation room. There is a faculty ratio of approximately one faculty per four learners.

The eighth edition course combines interactive learning with scenario-based assessments to give nurses a comprehensive learning experience. The course includes:

A Systematic Approach of Initial Assessment
The first few minutes of trauma care are critical to achieve better patient outcomes. The A – J mnemonic and the Trauma Nursing Assessment will assist nurses in providing appropriate and early intervention.

Hands-on Training Using both an Individual and Team Approach
The psychomotor skill stations offer nurses the opportunity to practice the systematic approach of the initial assessment in real life situations.

21 Chapter Comprehensive Manual
The TNCC Eighth Edition contains evidence-based content developed by trauma experts to reinforce and supplement the taught sessions and skill stations. It is a compilation of current trauma nursing standards and is a valuable resource for future reference.

Courses are provided at designated centres around the UK and Eire. To find out more about the course or to find a venue near you visit our courses page.

The TNCC may be officially attended by registered nurses (RN's). Other health care providers may attend the course as observers.

In order to maximise success in the TNCC (Provider), it is recommended that the participant have at least six months of clinical nursing experience in an emergency care setting. It is assumed that the course participant possesses generic nursing knowledge, has an understanding of emergency care terminology, and has familiarity with standard emergency equipment.
