Description

Welcome to the Guided Resuscitation Intervention for Trauma Teams (GRITT)

This programme is designed for the people who stand at the sharp end of trauma care — whether you’re on the roadside, in an emergency unit, at the operating table, or within an ICU. GRITT exists to support clinicians who face the reality of saving lives when minutes and even seconds matter.

Purpose of the course

GRITT prepares healthcare providers working in hospitals and clinics to rapidly recognise and manage the trauma patient whose life is under immediate threat. The emphasis is on practical, team-driven approaches that can be applied both in well-resourced trauma centres and in settings where equipment and staff are limited.

Focus areas

• Building leadership and teamwork skills alongside clinical decision-making.
• Applying systems thinking: patient safety, error reduction, and human factors are embedded in the training.
• Developing confidence to coordinate care for major trauma while still performing critical interventions yourself.

Who it is for

This course deliberately bridges the divide between clinicians with advanced postgraduate trauma training and those who have learned primarily through experience. GRITT translates established trauma principles into real-world, team-based practice.

How it is taught

Training is delivered to whole teams within their own working environment — be it an emergency centre, a district hospital ward, or an ambulance crew base. The preferred format is in-situ simulation, which allows participants to rehearse skills and coordination in the exact context where they normally work.

The GRITT Course is available in two formats 

1: Online only – this is a fully online course that will give you access to the learning material and is designed only for those who are not able to access the in-person training, or who are looking only for a trauma refresher. The certificate for this course is for the theory component only (the course does not carry a GRITT completion certificate), and the course carries 20 CPD points including 1 Ethics point.

2: Hybrid Model – this course is the full experience, the online learning combined with a 2 day, action packed in person experience, for the practitioner who is looking to really level up their trauma game and walk away with the skills and experiences of the in person course. This course carries an additional 16 CPD points including 1 ethics point, and also carries the full GRITT certification. In order to meet the practical and skill requirements, this is the recommended option!
