Acute Care
Coming Soon!

Library Overview

The Acute Care Course Library provides practical, non-accredited micro-learning to support safe practice, early recognition of deterioration, and effective escalation in acute and high-acuity care environments.
Courses are informed by recognised Australian healthcare safety and quality expectations, including guidance from the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) and contemporary best practice in patient safety, communication, and clinical governance.
This library focuses on situational awareness and team-based response, supporting workers to recognise risk, communicate clearly, and act within their role and scope in fast-paced clinical settings.
This library is in development. Courses are being released progressively. Contact us to be notified when it launches.

Who This Library Is For

This library is designed for people working in acute or high-acuity environments, including:
  • Clinical support and assistant roles
  • Nursing and healthcare support staff
  • Allied health and service support workers
  • Quality, compliance, and governance teams
  • Team leaders and supervisors in acute settings
  • Workers transitioning into acute care environments
Content does not assume advanced clinical training. It focuses on role clarity, safety, and escalation rather than diagnosis or treatment.

What Learners Will Develop

Through this library, learners strengthen their ability to:
  • Recognise early signs of deterioration or acute risk
  • Maintain situational awareness in fast-moving environments
  • Communicate critical information clearly and promptly
  • Escalate concerns appropriately using structured approaches
  • Support team-based responses under pressure
  • Understand personal responsibility and scope in acute care
  • Document observations and actions accurately
Learning is designed to support clear escalation and team coordination.

Topics Covered

Courses in the Acute Care Course Library will address common acute care scenarios, including:
  • Recognising deterioration and red flags
  • Communication and handover in acute settings
  • Early response and escalation pathways
  • Patient safety and risk awareness
  • Team roles during urgent situations
  • Documentation and clinical communication
  • Working within clinical governance frameworks
Content is educational and reflective. It does not replace clinical training and does not provide diagnosis or treatment instruction.

How the Learning Is Delivered

Courses in this library are delivered as short, focused micro-learning experiences, typically designed to be completed in around 15 minutes.
Learning is developed around:
  • Realistic acute care contexts
  • Clear explanation of expectations and responsibilities
  • Applied examples reflecting urgent and high-risk situations
  • Awareness of common errors under pressure
  • Practical insights that support safe, timely action
Courses may be completed individually or grouped into learning pathways suited to acute care environments.

Designed for Organisational Use

The Acute Care Course Library is being designed to support organisations operating in acute settings, including:
  • Onboarding staff into acute care environments
  • Refresher learning for high-risk clinical areas
  • Patient safety and quality improvement initiatives
  • Supporting consistent escalation practices
  • Workforce readiness and confidence-building
Learners can track their own progress in their Academy account. Organisations with their own learning management system can licence the courses as SCORM for completion and score reporting in that system.
