Rapid Response Team development
Working with WHO-GOARN and national stakeholders, we've developed a five-phase Rapid Response Team (RRT) training model tailored to the Pacific context. Because outbreak and disaster response routinely draws in defence alongside health, we also offer dedicated desktop scenarios and simulation-based training to strengthen civil-military coordination.
How the model works
Each phase runs up to one week, and produces a customised RRT manual developed specifically for that team:
Initiation training — team formation, manual development and endorsement
After-training review — challenges and best practices, root cause analysis, action plan
Technical (competency-based) training — skills development and SOP contextualisation
After-training review — refining systems and sustaining improvements
Simulation exercise — field-based response simulation to build confidence and test systems
