Attending to non-acute patients constitutes a growing percentage of ambulance service presentations and consequently forms a significant part of a paramedic鈥檚 practice. Therefore, the focus of Paramedicine Principles 3 is on lower acuity presentations that do not require emergency treatment. Meeting the needs of these lower acuity individuals involves utilisation of enhanced higher-order diagnostic skills, decision making and clinical reasoning to refer them to appropriate resources that may include other healthcare organisations or alternative treatment pathways.

Non-acute care includes assistance provided to pregnant women or women experiencing childbirth with associated non-urgent complications. Other individuals that require management for non-acute presentations may include minor injuries or illnesses, social issues, complex or chronic illness, or palliative care issues. Additionally, this course will address the management of conditions relating to the urogenital, renal and reproductive systems, inclusive of childbirth and neonatal resuscitation. It will also explore the alternate and complementary management pathways for patients with various low acuity illness or injuries, complex or chronic illnesses, palliative care and/or those who fit into one or more of the vulnerable client demographic groups.
