University Advanced Diploma - Emergency Care: Practice Development

You'll learn how to develop your knowledge and skills in emergency care. You'll begin with two core modules in minor and major illnesses and trauma, and then go on to select from a range of subject-specific modules to support your career practice. 

You will need to identify a facilitator in practice for HPCD6050 Consultation and Physical Examination Health Assessment Skills. Your facilitator or facilitators should be a healthcare professional such as a Dr, ACP, SP or Clinical specialist who is competent in the physical examinations and practices them regularly and can commit to regular support to develop your skills. Your facilitator will need to supervise the attainment of consultation and physical examination skills and sign off the competencies for four of the six body systems ((cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, MSK to include back and hip, shoulder and knee, ENT and Neuro to include cranial nerves, gross motor and sensory). You will need to log 40 hours of practice in developing these competencies, with a minimum of 50% of these spent with your facilitator.
