This unit focuses on risk management, the development of practical paramedic skills in communication, interprofessional collaboration and caring for patients in a range of healthcare settings. Learning occurs within controlled clinical environments, under the supervision of clinical staff. Students develop prehospital care skills and the ability to interact and communicate with people from socially and culturally diverse populations. Designated unit: The practicum unit PSP1236 is deemed to be a fundamental course requirement and may only be attempted once unless otherwise determined by Board of Examiners. Failure to pass these units may result in exclusion from the course.
Work integrated clinical placements of at least 100 hours over the full year are held in WA and scheduled in and out of semester across a 24/7 day period in line with healthcare provision. Placement partners may change placement timing and shifts with minimal notice because of operational demands. This is outside of the control of ECU.
