High acuity. Low occurrence. Hands-on training.

Rare moments.
Ready teams.

Practical training for the emergency procedures you may rarely encounter — and need to be ready for. Build your knowledge, technical skills and team behaviours in a supervised learning environment.

PREPARE / PRACTISE / RESPOND

The HALO approach

Prepare for the
moments that matter.

High acuity, low occurrence procedures demand more than remembering a sequence. HALO brings practical technique, decision-making and team communication together.

Focused teaching is followed by supervised practice and simulation. Develop a clearer understanding of when to act, how to work together and when to escalate.

What does HALO mean?

HALO stands for high acuity, low occurrence: rare, time-critical clinical situations that benefit from deliberate preparation.

Who is the HALO Procedures course for?

The HALO Procedures course specifies ST3 or equivalent as its minimum level and includes emergency medicine, anaesthetics and intensive care clinicians. Check the full course details for eligibility.

Are these courses delivered online?

These are physical, in-person courses. Venue and joining information should be confirmed for your chosen session.

Can I book now?

Course dates and booking availability are being finalised. Contact the team to enquire about upcoming sessions.

Does the course certify independent clinical competence?

No. The HALO course is simulation-based and does not confer complete proficiency to perform these procedures independently in clinical practice.
