What you’ll learn

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.
Before you book
Learners must be at least 18, work for a CQC-registered organisation or overseas equivalent, and hold FREC 4 or a Qualsafe-recognised equivalent. We check eligibility before confirming a place.
Assessment & qualification
Practical and theory assessments are required. Maintain relevant CPD after qualification. The award does not confer prescribing rights or replace your employer’s medicines authorisation and clinical governance.
