Additional Information:The practical module introduces the Student Paramedic to the key aspects of the non-emergency and emergency role. It addresses aspects of urgent and emergency care through a model of increasing levels of dependency, immediacy and urgency. The Student Paramedic will be introduced to the demands of the planned care and emergency out-of-hospital environment. The Focus will be on the assessment and management of the chronic, acute and life-threatening conditions presented in time critical and non-time critical situations. The module has an OSCE for the summative assessment which is a pass or fail. The module is intrinsically linked to practice, the Practice Learning & Assessment Documentation (PLAD) must be completed fully in all relevant sections for this semester. Relevant aspects of the skills log must be signed as competent to be accepted as a pass. The PLAD is recorded as a 'pass' or 'fail' and the document will be continued onto the next practice module, 4009PM.
