TPACC

Team Performance & Critical Cognition

COURSE SUMMARY

TPACC combines medical, cognitive, and non-technical skills training to help participants thrive in challenging, uncertain, and time-critical situations. The course focuses on developing the skills and processes that enhance team performance, decision-making, and situational awareness in the most demanding environments.

Developed by a team of leading experts, academics, and medical professionals, TPACC draws on cutting-edge research and practical operational experience. There is no formal assessment of medical interventions unless specifically requested, allowing the focus to remain on cognitive and team performance development.

The course can be delivered as an entry-level or advanced program, fully adaptable to an organisation’s context, environment, and risk profile. It is equally effective as a teambuilding tool or as an advanced performance development experience, depending on your objectives.
