Description: The Acute Systematic Clinical Emergency Response and Treatment, or ASCERT, program is an intensive 2-day course (First day Thursday 24th October, second Friday 25th October) that is designed for medical professionals who deal directly with acutely unwell adult patients. ASCERT is primarily engineered for junior doctors in Foundation Year 2 and early core/specialist training years. However, other medical professionals who have a direct role in patient assessment may also register. If you would like to improve the outcome of your treatment of acutely ill patients, ASCERT is almost certainly the right option for you. We take pride in the success that our delegates have in the field and we look forward to seeing you in an upcoming ASCERT session. If you have questions regarding the program, don’t hesitate to contact us. If you need to cancel your place on this course - after you have confirmed your cancellation on Maxcourse OR have got a last minute space please email Sharron Blackler at: s.blackler@ascert.pw and/or sharron.blackler@nhs.net or phone 07828 804898.
