Pacific Emergency Nurse Training (PENT) & Safe Care In Practice (SCIP) Train-the-Trainer (2022)

​

In November the PEE team returned to where it all began and ran the PENT and SCIP training in Kiribati. We had a large group of nurses for the PENT, from ED, Maternity, Medical and ICU and 4 nurse educators from the Kiribati School of Nursing and Health Science.

  1. Teawatei and Mangrenga apply a pelvic binder while Tareaua watches the airway

  2. Oteniera tests his CPR on Agnes against the  app while Teawatei and others look on.

  3.  Mbwenea and Meraia resuscitate baby Owen

  4. Teretia and Oteniera check for equal air entry as Teawatei ventilates Owen with the BVM.

Fourteen of the PENT graduates then followed up with the SCIP Train-the-Trainer course. 

We are so proud and excited to know that local trainers are now delivering SCIP training, and that improved access to education and safer patient care is safe in the hands of a fantastic group of nurses.

    SCIP Trainers 

Teretia leads a discussion on important components of the ABCDE assessment in her SCIP class.

  1. Arourenga and Manrenga lead a simulation scenario with a group of SCIP nurses

  2. Eritebà leads a SCIP scenario

  3. Tareaua shows a laminated Kiribati Early Warning Score (KEWS) poster during SCIP training to illustrate the importance of trends in identifying deterioration.

Graduation is always a special occasion, but having Denise Kivell arrive in Kiribati to celebrate with us was the icing on the cake.
