Provide Advanced First Aid

Provide Advanced First Aid, and Advanced Resuscitation is a comprehensive course design for those seeking a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of first aid events and emergencies. Participants will learn to conduct a complete assessment of a casualty and begin treatment steps, including using oxygen during resuscitation.

The Provide First Aid in Remote Situations course is designed to equip students with superior first aid response capabilities. The course includes patient management and life support to persons in remote locations and situations, away from readily available emergency response services. The course looks at how to deal with variables that may not be relevant in an urban emergency.

The Provide Pain Management course (PUAEM008) is designed for those who may be required to administer analgesia (pain relief) during their duties as a first aider. Most first aiders are not required to provide pain management due to the close proximity of ambulance resources or definitive care at hospital. However, remote environments or high risk industries may choose to provide their first aiders with pain relief medications such as Paracetamol, Methoxyflurane or Ibuprofen. This course develops the skills of how to assess pain and administer a pain relief medications when clinically indicated while maintaining the legal requirements of the use of such medications.
