This unit consolidates students’ ability to demonstrate clinical techniques, skills and equipment use in professional paramedic practice. The unit focuses on the 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 solidify student’s effectiveness in prehospital patient management. It integrates functional movement principles relating to manual handling into paramedic practice with the aim of minimising risk of personal injury.
This unit has a compulsory workshop held at the Joondalup campus and this may occur outside of the regular timetable.
Students must have passed PSP3101 Advanced Paramedic Practice 1.
Students must be enrolled in K89.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS
| Joondalup | Mount Lawley | South West (Bunbury) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 2 | 1 x 2 hour workshop | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
Students will solidify their leadership, communication and handover, clinical problem solving, decision making skills, advanced life support for adult patients and critical care interventions through use of simulation scenarios, facilitated by Paramedics. Students will have the opportunity to attend a range of simulated medical, trauma and cardiac arrest presentations and will demonstrate appropriate prehospital management strategies and interventions for patients, including obstetric and neonate patients. This unit will ensure students have the underpinning knowledge and skills required for the role of an independent professional paramedic.
