Synopsis
Paramedics are increasingly required to respond to patients with behavioural conditions and emergencies therefore students need to develop strong communication skills, perform high quality mental status assessments, and develop the skills required to manage risk. This course will enable students to further their knowledge and application of communication, interpersonal and professional skills in relation to managing difficult patients and situations. Additionally, students will be provided with opportunities to consider professionalism, empathy, cultural sensitivity, recovery-orientated practice, ethics, legal issues, self-awareness and reflective practice, safety, evidence-based practice and the role of a paramedic within the broader health system.
