This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit consolidates the clinical techniques, skills and equipment in professional paramedic practice developed in the prerequisite units. The unit focuses on professional paramedic management of patients with critical care conditions at an advanced life support level. It employs the principles of problem based learning, evidence based practice and team work to increase students effectiveness in patient management. Students will solidify their communication, clinical problem solving, decision making skills, advanced life support and critical care interventions through use of simulation scenarios. This unit prepares students for the role of an independent professional paramedic.
Off-campus students are advised that this unit has a compulsory workshop held at the Joondalup campus. The theory modules for this unit may however be studied online.
Students must pass 1 unit from PSP3101
Must be enrolled in course version G51, K89
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Workshops, tutorials and clinical simulation supported by audiovisual and computer software.
