Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine for Healthcare Professionals 1: Systems and Resources Level 7 (Health CPD)

The Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) for Healthcare Professional modules are delivered in partnership with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, ensuring a high quality, contemporary, clinically-focused learning experience for practitioners working in the pre-hospital setting. Both Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) modules will equip you with foundational knowledge, skills and behaviours necessary for a career in advanced PHEM. PHEM 1 focuses on enabling students to navigate the complexity in emergency medical systems and associated equipment and medicines management.

The module covers three main topics, Working in Emergency Medical Service systems; Pre-Hospital Medicines management, Equipment and their governance; and Practical Application of Equipment and Medication in Practice. Both modules will help to prepare students wishing to undertake the Diploma of Immediate Medical Care (DipIMC) and/or considering the Fellowship of immediate Care exam with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The modules are closely aligned with the Intercollegiate Board for Training in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine curriculum and may be be completed as a Post graduate Certificate in Specialist Practice (Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine), when combined with the module Using Evidence to Lead and Advance Practice, or form part of a MSc in Advanced Professional Practice.
