Building from the knowledge and skills gained in Introduction to Non-Technical Skills and Simulation 1 or your level 4 AAP trauma and basic non-technical skills taught sessions, 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.

Building from Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Clinical Skills 1 and 2, learning will consist of technical skills, lead lectures, debates, seminars, and pre-recorded content, with a focus on clinical simulation and teamwork. This will be supplemented by online study materials, clinical simulation, and peer review.

Online materials will be used to introduce subject areas and will be delivered through the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE). This will then be built upon through lead lectures.

Incorporated into these will be tasks and activities, which will help to form the basis of face-to-face tutorial sessions to reinforce your learning.

Specialist guest lectures, service users and carers will also be included to give apprentices an in-depth professional and personal experience of key subject areas.

You will also be expected to undertake your own self-study on this module, comprising approximately 136 hours. You will have guidance on which issues and areas to look at, but this study is designed to help expand your knowledge and appreciation for the key subject matters, and to allow you time to work on and develop your assignment

This module will also include elements of Interprofessional Education (IPE). Apprentices will participate in simulated learning experiences which may include students or apprentices from other areas of the school of Health, Education, Policing and Sciences and will learn with and from one another by working together to achieve the best outcome for the simulated patient.

Simulation exercise based on a clinical emergency, incorporating three phases. (Learning Outcomes 1,2,3, and 4).

Phase 1: Pre-brief, role allocation and planning.

Phase 2: To manage and assess the simulation, including patient assessment, history taking and management in the team dynamic.

Phase 3: Debrief - Apprentices should utilise a recognised briefing and debriefing tool to reflect on-action to identify areas of safe and effective practice and areas of improvement.


Demonstrate the ability to identify and manage a patient using the basic principles of pathophysiology, to support a treatment plan.
