Paramedic Trauma Management
In the words of author Nancy Caroline, MD, University of Pittsburg, School of Medicine “Emergency Medical Care is not a single identity but rather a chain of services involving a whole array of personnel and equipment. Each link in the chain is vital for the effective provision of emergency care. Within the pre-hospital link it is often the Paramedic, upon whom by virtue of the level of skill and knowledge she/he possess, falls the greatest responsibility and obligation to deliver life support in this phase of emergency medical care. “Paramedics perform their role largely in isolation from other medical personnel and medical facilities, often in remote and difficult or even hostile environments. In addition to the clinical and the technical aspects of patient care delivery, Paramedics require sound clinical judgement, an ability to perform decisively and communicate effectively with the public and other emergency service personnel in both routine and crisis situations.
To provide flexible, high quality and industrially relevant education for those who work in Pre-hospital Emergency Care, the School of Paramedic & Emergency Specialties has a strong commitment to growing the body of trauma knowledge. The school is committed to the principle that all individuals have the fundamental right to access high quality rapid response pre-hospital emergency care and advanced life support.
The School of Paramedic and Emergency Specialties leads the ITRU pre-hospital trauma education and study activities. Specialty foci include:
- High Fidelity Clinical Simulation
- Trauma scoring
- Ski injuries
