Practical Skills Training
The HLT51020 Diploma of Emergency Health Care includes 160hrs of clinical placement which we can help for you organise where you live with a local medical service, or you may already have options to organise yourself at your workplace. International Paramedic College Australia.
5-day practical workshops Ballina 2024 and in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide in 2025. The Practical Course duration is shortened by attendance at practical webinars and zoom sessions designed to have you primed for your practical work. (we used to call them Paramedic Primers in Ambulance Service NSW)
Why a 5 Day Face-to-Face Practical
Patient Assessment
Trauma Cases
Medical Cases
Environmental Cases
We run our practical courses over a shorter time frame because we do a paramedical course primer before your attendance. We used to do this in Ambulance NSW to prepare trainees to “Hit the ground running” when they attend the practical courses. It was called a paramedic primer in those days. We also use a small group team format.
Learning to use various pieces of equipment is not difficult. Equipment continually changes, so learning when to use certain equipment is more important. (I have lost track of how many variations in leg splints and monitors etc I have seen over 40 years). The kit constantly changes, learning how to interpret it is what is essential. You can read more about our philosophy of paramedic training here.
We give you a lot of pre course work to complete on protocols procedures and pharmacology (different drugs that medics may administer) so you know them before you arrive at “face to face” training. We run a series of online webinars and live Q&A sessions with experienced clinical paramedics free of change before your attendance at practical training. Paramedical training is about learning a series of routines, like a template you can layer over any situation to provide you with a systematic approach to any patient management situation. Once you learn this approach, it is simple to apply it in any emergency call.
Our live interactive webinars cover the important aspects of developing the routines and equipment in your skills manual textbook
Pharmacology relevant to your scope of practice
Clinical placement follows your practical training and allows students to receive hands-on training, skill development, practice and interact with instructors and peers in person. Overall, this program offers a well-rounded approach to paramedical, pre-hospital training, combining both a strong theoretical and practical components.
We have some overseas arrangements that may be suitable for placements for you as well. To achieve this qualification, the candidate must also complete at least 160 hours of workplace attendance as detailed in the assessment requirements.
