This unit further supports student progress towards a role as a professional paramedic. Attendance at a 5-day on-campus intensive practical workshop will enable students to focus on increasing their proficiency in the standard paramedic approach to the assessment and treatment of sick and injured patients in the pre-hospital environment. It will continue to develop essential paramedic skills in clinical decision making and effective communication to ensure patient care is safe, clinically effective and socially and culturally adept in the pre-hospital setting. The application of professional paramedic standards, simulation based education and clinical reasoning activities will prepare students to assess and manage patients in the discipline of paramedicine.
