This unit focuses on development of practical paramedic skills in patient assessment, evidence-based treatment and chronic disease management. Learning occurs within healthcare and controlled clinical environments, under the supervision of clinical staff. Students gain experience in assessing a patient’s capacity to receive care, maintaining accurate patient records, using patient information management systems and working in interprofessional teams. Students further develop their paramedic skills and the ability to interact with people from socially and culturally diverse populations.
Work integrated clinical placements of at least 120 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.
