Module Overview:
This module will enable you to improve your knowledge and understanding of the role of a paramedic within integrated urgent care and clinical assessment services.
Additional Information:
Paramedics are a key component within the newly proposed integrated urgent care and clinical assessment services.

The registered and non-registered staff who make up the Integrated Urgent Care workforce, are central to ensuring the delivery of consistently high quality and safe care, delivered at the right place, at the right time. Their contribution is vital to driving improvements for patients and the public, optimising service delivery and enabling a quality culture and compassionate NHS climate now and for the future.

This module aims to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the paramedic, specifically addressing patient care, safety and long term care. The student will be able to review the current process for patients and consider opportunities to develop the care further in line with national drivers towards a change in the pre hospital arena.

This module forms part of the BSH Paramedicine and BSH Paramedic Science and will also be delivered as a CPD Programme.
