The unit will develop knowledge and skills in caring for paediatric patients. Further to developing skills in relation to a normal delivery and a newborn, students will also develop competencies in dealing with the unique anatomical and physiological aspects of this group of patients in a prehospital setting. This unit also introduces students to skills in the unique emotional aspects that are inherent when dealing with small children and their carers.
The unit includes a one (1) week intensive on Casuarina Campus. The intensive week is compulsory, and students are expected to meet all costs for travel and accommodation in relation to the intensive.
This unit is only available to students enrolled in the WPAR01 Bachelor of Paramedicine.
