Every second counts in healthcare—and that’s where triage makes the difference.
Triage is not just a process, it’s a lifeline. It ensures that the sickest patients are seen first, that care is delivered safely, and that limited resources are used where they’re needed most. Behind every triage decision is a trained professional making critical judgments under pressure to protect lives and improve outcomes.
No matter the size or setting of a hospital, effective triage is essential. It brings order to chaos, supports clinical teams, and ultimately saves lives.

Check out on our You Tube page the story of how Dharura helped starting triage in Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital - NTRH - LHS Nanyuki and of how this has changed the lives of both patients and staff.

🌍 Nyahururu - Nanyuki and Cornwall ❤️

This week marks another important step in the growing partnership between the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Emergency Department and Nyahururu County Hospital, working together to strengthen emergency care through collaboration, mentorship, and exchange.

🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏾👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏾This week a group of professionals from Nyahururu - Juliet, Simon and Grace - joined by a team from the Royal Cornwall ED - Caitlin, Faheeem, Lucy, Joy and Anna- travelled to Nanyuki, to meet the Nanyuki SIM team led by Rose and the Dharura fellows Maddie, Livi and Jack currently on their 10 weeks deployment.

One of the most powerful moments was a session on breaking bad news and caring for ourselves as well as our patients, led by Sheila, psychologist from Nanyuki — a reminder that compassion, communication, and wellbeing sit at the heart of emergency care everywhere.

This has been a true two-way exchange.
"We’ve learnt so much from each other and will be taking back lessons on gratefulness, psychological safety, and the use of a SIM contract into our simulation debriefs in the UK."
Our Royal Cornwall team are " incredibly proud of the Nyahururu team, who have made huge progress this week through the mentorship and support of the Nanyuki team."

Global health partnerships like this show what’s possible when teams come together with openness, respect, and a shared purpose. 💙

🌍 Training Highlight | Rural Teaching Day at Lewa Conservancy Clinic 🌍

We had a fantastic day of learning and collaboration with the Dharura Fellows and Nanyuki Sim Team during our rural teaching day at Lewa Conservancy Clinic.

The focus of the session was paediatric shock, with in-depth discussions on:
• Hypovolaemic shock in the malnourished child
• Septic shock

There was a great turnout, strong engagement, and valuable shared learning throughout the day — making it a truly rewarding experience for everyone involved.

A huge thank you to for hosting and supporting this important training. 👏
An excellent day overall, strengthening skills and improving care for our most vulnerable patients.

Hands-On Learning in Action!

Today, some of our NTRH personnel took part in a skills simulation to perfect their chest compression techniques.

Simulation sessions give our teams a safe space to practice, make mistakes, learn, and improve — preparing them for real-life care scenarios with confidence and precision.

A big thank you to our UHBW clinical fellows and the Nanyuki Sim Team for guiding and supporting our staff every step of the way! 👏

🚨 Triage training in Action at Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital - NTRH - LHS Nanyuki ! 🚨

Last Thursday’s CME (continuing medical education) session at Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital (NTRH) focused on the vital role of triage in patient care. Led by Sara (Dharura Nurse Lead), together with Sheila Psychologist from the NTRH Sim Team and Tia (Nursing Fellow), the session brought learning to life through engaging simulated triage scenarios.

A large group of staff joined in, stepping into the role of triage nurses, they were asked to vote on whether to direct patients to the ED 🔴or OPD🟢 — the variations in the color code assignation sparked great discussion and reflection, highlighting the importance of:

✨ Specialised training for triage nurses
🤝 Privacy and trust to encourage patients to share personal concerns

Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to this insightful and interactive session! 💙

Strengthening Emergency Care at Lewa Conservancy (Laikipia, Kenya) 🌿🦒

This week, Dharura and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy came together to advance emergency care and first aid capacity across the conservancy community.

At the Lewa Clinic, 26 participants took part in a focused Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) emergency training, covering critical, life-saving interventions including:

- Use of the NAS-G device and uterine balloon

- Management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH)

- Simulation-based training for delivery emergencies

These hands-on sessions are designed to empower healthcare teams with the skills to respond quickly and effectively to complications during childbirth — saving the lives of mothers and newborns.

In parallel, Dharura hosted a dedicated neonatal ventilation workshop, led by Dr. Emily Botha, a neonatologist joining Dharura for the first time as part of the UHBW partnership scoping. This vital session focused on improving newborn resuscitation and ventilation techniques in low-resource settings.

The training concluded with a community run through the Conservancy, where participants and rangers enjoyed the stunning Lewa landscape — a perfect finish celebrating teamwork, learning, and connection.

A huge thank you to our incredible facilitators and partners:
Dorcas, Ruth, Dr. Karen, and Imma (NTRH); Sarah and Emily (Dharura); and Reeana (Clinical Dharura Fellow).

Together, we continue to build a stronger emergency response system within the Conservancy — ensuring timely, skilled care when it matters most. 💚
