Introduction
This is the first emergency ambulance clinical placement which will provide the student with the opportunity to observe and integrate into the ambulance team culture and environment. The student will be a third team member of an emergency ambulance crew moving from being an observer to being able to participate in patient care by assisting the ambulance crew members with basic skills which are within their scope of practice, under the direct supervision of a qualified paramedic clinical tutor. The student will continue to develop foundational paramedic skills, including: patient assessment, basic medications, patient communication and an overview of the common conditions encountered in the out-of-hospital setting. The principals of manual handling and OH&S critical to paramedic practice will be applied in the clinical context. This unit also incorporates the Global Perspectives Program that has been designed to encourage the student to give serious thoughts to the notion of 'Cultural Competance for Lifelong Learning and Work in a Global Society'.
