Note:¿¿
This module will draw on knowledge and experience gained from Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Clinical Skills 1 and 2.

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.

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 may also include elements of Interprofessional Education (IPE). Apprentices may 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.

1. Critically reflect on your ability to deliver safe and effective care in the pre-hospital or simulated environment.

University Learning Outcome: Knowledge and Understanding, Application, Reflection, Communication

2. Apply and evaluate effective teamwork in the pre-hospital care or simulated environment.

University Learning Outcome: Knowledge and Understanding, Application, Enquiry

3. Demonstrate safe and appropriate clinical assessments in response to a range of potential trauma presentations, across the lifespan.

University Learning Outcome: Knowledge and Understanding, Application

4. Demonstrate and evaluate the safe application of treatment and management plans, in accordance with patient need.

University Learning Outcome: Knowledge and Understanding, Application, Enquiry, Problem Solving

Enrolled on Paramedic Apprenticeship

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.
