Fundamentals of Pre-hospital Care +

FPC+ is an immersive simulation-based training opportunity for pre-hospital clinicians. This 2-day course aims to review the fundamental principles of high-quality care and apply them within high fidelity simulation. These fundamentals were selected by senior paramedics, based on the lessons learnt during their service. FPC+ aims to share these learnings.

The fundamentals we cover.

Optimising your environment.
The primary survey.
Patient assessment.
Cognitive tools – Pause, communicate, plan, re-assess.
Dealing with the unexpected.
Cognitive bias.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply these principles during high fidelity simulations, showcasing a mix of medical, trauma and toxicological presentations. A detailed debrief will follow each simulation. Participants should have a good understanding of the medicine involved, FPC+ is an opportunity to combine the medicine and the fundamentals in a realistic learning environment.

FPC+ is aimed at final year paramedic students, graduates, registered paramedics, and military medics, as well as nurses and doctors working in pre-hospital care.
