Course overview
The Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) for Healthcare Professional modules are delivered by the UEA in partnership with 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.
PHEM 2: focuses on enabling students to navigate the challenges associated with austere environments, special circumstances and human factors. This module covers Assessment of the Scene and Patient in PHEM; PHEM in Special Circumstances; Human Factors in PHEM and their application.
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 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.
Whether you are a paramedic, nurse, ODP or other registered healthcare professional this course will advance your understanding and capacity to deliver critical care in the pre-hospital environment.
