This will include consideration of personal scope of practice and employing a person-centred approach, ensuring capacity is established and informed consent is gained, adapting practice where necessary to meet the needs of the service user, their relatives and carers in the emergency and urgent care environment. In this module you will be supported to understand how the principles and theories from physics, biomechanics, electronics and ergonomics can be applied to paramedic practice. You will explore and learn about moving and handling techniques, equipment and patient extrication techniques, as well patient positioning, and airway management. You will also develop skills to safely select, apply, evaluate and record the use of a variety of emergency equipment and appreciate how the application of these treatment options can result in physiological and structural change within the body. You will develop knowledge of the principles of pharmacology including pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and explore the safe administration of specific therapeutic medications via intramuscular, nebulised, oral and inhaled routes in the management of conscious and unconscious patients across the lifespan according to JRCALC guidelines. This will include the use of universal precautions, personal protective equipment and aseptic techniques to minimise the spread of infection, identifying indications and contraindications to specified medications, evaluating effectiveness and recognising and reporting adverse drug reactions to ensure safe, legal and appropriate management of medications in the acute environment.?Through simulation activities, you will develop your proficiency in Adult Basic Life Support with airway management, recognition of shockable and non-shockable ECG rhythms with safe and appropriate defibrillation whilst appreciating how to Basic Life Support techniques differ in newborn, neonatal and paediatrics. You will also learn how to manage foreign body airway obstruction across the lifespan. You will be introduced to the concept of clinical handover and the contemporary models used in healthcare settings to ensure the safe and efficient transfer of service users, their relatives and carers to the wider healthcare team.?Case studies will be used throughout the module to support you in taking a holistic and evidenced based approach to implementing paramedic intervention and management strategies. Learning and teaching activities during this module may be supported by our ?experts by experience\u00ca group (service users) through discussing their lived experiences of their condition.? The values, skills, knowledge and behaviours gained during this module will form a foundation which will be further developed in your subsequent Level 5 modules and practice placements.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPerson Centred Assessment\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aim of this module is to introduce you to the process of patient assessment through the application of underpinning paramedic science knowledge, theories and concepts in a variety of pre-hospital and unscheduled care settings.

Placements will take place in each year of the three years of your programme.<\/p>\n<p>Your initial care based placement in year one, focuses on developing your professional responsibilities including communication and patient safety. This may take place in an acute or community setting.<\/p>\n<p>You will complete a significant proportion of your placements with our partners in West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Trust at a location anywhere within the West Midlands and potentially into neighbouring counties.<\/p>\n<p>As you progress through your course, you may undertake practice placements in practice areas outside of the Ambulance Service. This commitment reflects the emerging scope of practice of Paramedics and provides opportunities to experience these areas prior to qualification.<\/p>\n<p>You should be aware that placements are valuable learning experiences and cannot be chosen. While on placement you will be supported, supervised and assessed by practice and academic staff to develop your knowledge and skills and achieve your competencies.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the programme you will be required to successfully complete manual handling training and a mandatory assessment. This assessment includes carrying a weighted mannikin up and down the stairs using appropriate equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\" id=\"course-section-4b4b1c96-139d-4fdb-b3ac-2ea2e7a75062\" data-name=\"Studying in Birmingham\" data-count=\"7\" data-conditional-meta=\"{&quot;conditions&quot;:[{&quot;field&quot;:&quot;studyingAndLivingInBirmingham&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;isset&quot;,&quot;valueType&quot;:&quot;static&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;compareField&quot;:&quot;&quot;}],&quot;relationship&quot;:&quot;AND&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"padding-top:80px;padding-bottom:80px;min-height:354px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-896 size-large\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/newman.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-content\/themes\/birmingham-newman-parent\/assets\/dist\/img\/birmingham-brindley-place.webp\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-blue-background-color has-background-dim-80 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"happypress-custom-fields happypress-custom-fields-studyingAndLivingInBirmingham\"><p>Studying and living in Birmingham<\/p>\n<p>At Birmingham Newman University, you\u2019ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, green campus that creates the ideal setting for focused study and personal reflection, yet remains just eight miles from the vibrant city centre.<\/p>\n<p>As the UK\u2019s second-largest city, Birmingham is also one of the youngest and most diverse in Europe, offering a dynamic blend of culture, innovation and opportunity.
