Why join the course?

This course aims to develop your ability to apply your clinical reasoning experience in a challenging and resource-limited environment. No previous experience of working in the prehospital care setting is required. A team of experienced doctors and paramedics will deliver a mixture of teaching and simulation to achieve the learning outcomes of the course.

You will be encouraged to undertake an elective observation day in a prehospital care system and share your experience as part of the module. Please note that the simulation element of this course may require you to physically manipulate equipment in unfamiliar surroundings. The elective element may require you to attend events or emergencies in the prehospital setting.
