Who it’s for
For people developing an emergency response role, including event medical teams, security personnel and staff in higher-risk settings.
What you’ll learn
Develop a structured approach to patient assessment, resuscitation, airway support, serious bleeding, trauma and medical emergencies. Practical scenarios connect the skills with teamwork and effective handover.
Taught by frontline paramedics
Coast Medic uses active frontline paramedics to deliver this course. Their current clinical experience brings context to the classroom: recognising when someone is seriously unwell, communicating clearly and handing over to the next clinician. You will practise skills through guided scenarios, with time for questions and feedback.
