Paramedic Science

Introduction To Inclusive Pre-Hospital Care

How does who we are and what we do have an impact on our own and others health? In this module we look at how society effects health from birth to death and how the changing face of paramedic practice can reach out to support the most vulnerable in society.

Module code: PARA40031

Introduction To Human Biology And Clinical Skills 2

This module introduces you to the theory and skills of electronic cardiogram (ECG) interpretation, pain management and drug administration, in the pre-hospital setting. This in conjunction with Introduction to Human Biology and Clinical Skills 1, will develop your knowledge, understanding and skills to assist Paramedics in practice placement assess, treat and manage a wide range of patients.

Introduction To Non-Technical Skills And Simulation

This module will start to introduce you to the non-technical skills of Paramedic practice. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence individual capability and effectiveness in practice and we explore an introduction to these theories and how awareness of these supports patient safety.

Module code: PARA40027

Introduction To Human Biology And Clinical Skills 1

In this module you will start to explore human biology, anatomy, and physiology and how this relates to patient presentation. You will also look at the history taking models, developing questioning to support your care. Understanding the importance of these key elements provides you with a foundational understanding of patient assessment and treatment.

Module code: PARA40028

Applied Clinical Practice 1

In this module you will work under supervised practice in the clinical and/or simulated environment. You will develop your assessment, treatment, and management of patients, alongside your communications skills. This will provide hands-on experience, where you will need to demonstrate your core knowledge and understanding in a dynamic environment.

Module code: PARA40026

Communication And Professional Development

In this module, you will start your journey to becoming a professional Paramedic. This module will introduce the required skills of communication and professionalism that will form the foundation for your development as an autonomous practitioner. Throughout the module, we will examine theories and processes of communication, self-awareness and discuss law and ethics. You will be introduced to the realm of being a registered practitioner and understanding the requirements of the regulating body, the professional body and society.

Pathophysiology, Pharmacology And Clinical Skills 1

Paramedics are generalist practitioners who respond to a broad range of patients in diverse and changing environments. This module is intended to cover the essential pathophysiology and pharmacology of common emergency presentations, whilst developing the fundamental skills associated with safe and effective care.

Evidence Based Care

This module will enable you to develop an understanding of research methodology and methods. Academic research often favours a polysyllabic terminology, but often what is behind this terminology is entirely compatible with our ‘everyday’ understanding of the world. This module will provide you the opportunity to develop the skills in the pursuit of an understanding of research methodology and methods. This understanding can then be applied within the level 6 Dissertation but will also be transferable to a breadth of educational and employment settings.

Inclusive Pre-Hospital Care

Building on Introduction to Inclusive Pre-Hospital care, this module explores in more detail the duty of care and management strategies of Paramedics when dealing with patients who are medically, physically, socially or psychologically vulnerable.

Module code: PARA50686

Non-Technical Skills And Simulation

Building from the knowledge and skills gained in Introduction to Non-Technical Skills and Simulation 1 you with explore the principles and management of Pre-Hospital Traumatic Injury and Major Incident, supported by the essential non-technical skills required for safe and effective care.

Module code: PARA50685

Applied Clinical Practice 2

Building from year 1, you will continue to work under supervised practice in the clinical and/or simulated environment. You will develop your assessment, treatment, and management of patients, alongside your communications skills. This will provide hands-on experience, where you will need to demonstrate your core knowledge and understanding in a dynamic environment.
