Description
This course is not for the faint hearted. PracMed's PHEC course is designed to equip students with advanced skills to help keep casualties alive in a prehospital setting.
With a 4 day intensive face-to-face course and self-directed learning, students will be put through their paces.

It covers:
- Emergency planning
- Primary and secondary survey

Requirements
This course includes online pre- and post-course work. You will need access to a computer/phone with internet to be able to complete these components.
Site Requirements
To run this as a on-site private course, we require a training space with adequate room for practical activities. At any stage, half of the group will be working on partners lying on the ground - we need ample space for them to work safely. As it is quite practical, the room needs to be well ventilated.
We'll need two tables, enough chairs for the participants and space for the projector to display. We're happy to use your AV set up if you have one.
Please contact us to discuss the suitability of your venue as there are several complex scenarios included in this course.
