Aims
To enhance the key attributes including: clinical knowledge, clinical skills and professional decision-making, to enable the learner to demonstrate professional conduct and to achieve clinical competence in the care, monitoring, support and treatment of service users in the out-of-hospital setting.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Consider relevant legislation relating to health and safety, focussing on safe moving & handling, personal protective equipment, infection prevention and control.
2.
Apply the principles of effective assessment and care management to any given patient.
3.
Recognise and manage chronic and acute conditions through structured patient assessment.
4.
Demonstrate the skills and knowledge appropriate for the effective management of a range of emergency incidents across the age ranges demonstrating safe team working, collaboration and autonomy of practice
5.
Demonstrate competency of skills through analysis, problem solving and decision-making in practice settings and in simulated cases

Module Overview:
This practice-based module builds upon knowledge gained from Module 4007PM and explores 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. Further focus will be on the assessment and management of chronic, acute and life-threatening conditions, presented in time-critical and non time-critical situations. As a practice module, this module addresses key theories and ideas around disease, illness and mechanism of injury.

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 decreasing levels of dependency, which will develop over the programme.
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 is intrinsically linked to practice and the Practice Learning & Assessment Documentation (PLAD) must be completed fully.
The progress of the student through the year will be closely monitored by the Practice Educator and the programme team. For quality purposes the PLAD will be submitted for review at the end of the first semester. Guidance and specific feedback will be given to the students before they continue with the PLAD into the second semester.
In addition the learner will undertake a simulated final assessment in the form of an Observed Structured Clinical Observation(OSCE). The PLAD and OSCE are recorded as a 'pass' or 'fail".
Attendance is an essential element throughout this module so that informed decisions can be made about patient safety and the fitness to practice of each learner. Therefore, placement and simulated hours are measured as stated within the programme key information.
