Requisites

Overview

This unit will provide you with the opportunity to integrate knowledge acquired in their study in the primary emergency health care environment. The various tasks allow for the development of advanced skills with a focus on the study of health care within the emergency and community-based primary health care environments to assist in the transition to the workplace.

The unit will review the graduate attributes needed to be an effective practitioner within the area of primary health care. The unit will focus on the knowledge, skills and values needed to practice as a paramedic. You will be encouraged to identify your personal strengths, develop effective teamwork, situational awareness and personal skills through a process of reflection and continual improvement.
You will then apply this learning through simulations and actual workplace placements to enhance their role-readiness.
