Programme

Safe Referral Education

Standardised protocols for moving critically ill and injured patients between facilities, so that no one is lost in transit or turned away at the door.

Too many patients in Ghana are moved from facility to facility while precious minutes become hours. Safe referral is the difference between a transfer that saves a life and one that costs it.

We train clinicians, nurses and facility managers on:

  • Stabilising the patient before transfer: airway, breathing, circulation
  • Calling ahead: confirming the receiving facility has the bed, the team and the equipment
  • Structured handover tools so nothing critical is missed
  • Documentation, accountability and learning from referral outcomes
