Course Description

When critical emergencies occur, the first interventions that patients receive usually determine if they survive or not. This is why the job of first responders, such as paramedics, is crucial. Are you interested in saving lives and providing emergency healthcare? This course, published by John’s Academy, will teach you the basics of paramedicine. In addition, you will learn about emergency medical services (EMS) and the roles of different EMS providers.   We begin by discussing the basics of human anatomy, acquainting you with various systems of the human body. You will discover initial assessment methods and common injuries that a paramedic needs to know. Next, we explore other medical emergencies and infections to help you become comfortable dealing with critical situations. You will learn about paediatric first aid and examine ambulance maintenance. We will also review general first aid administration, where you will explore CPR and other basic procedures. Lastly, you will discover how the body transports and balances fluids and electrolytes and why this is crucial in administering first aid. Finally, we will provide an overview of the legal issues surrounding the medical environment that first responders must consider. All paramedics must complete a comprehensive accredited paramedic education programme. This foundation course will give you a good starting point to help you on your way. Enrol today!
