General Information

Overview

This unit deepens understanding of diverse medical, environmental, and mental health challenges across various demographics, focusing on prehospital management of wide-ranging medical conditions. Emphasis is placed on discerning between simple and complex presentations by applying case-based learning to bolster clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and judgement, leading to accurate diagnoses. You will develop comprehensive, evidence-based clinical management plans, integrating patient safety, professional limitations, and consultation strategies. The unit underscores the importance of patient-centred care, advocating for solutions that consider social, cultural, and individual preferences, ensuring continuity of care. Additionally, it examines the paramedic's role in primary health care, contrasting healthcare models to optimise patient entry into the health system, aligning with current industry standards and protocols.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT - T2, 2023

Feedback

Students stated the tutorials were very beneficial; however, more work must be done to mediate other students' interjections and disruptions during live tutorial sessions.

Recommendation

It is recommended that a recorded tutorial session presents the main learning outcomes of the weekly case studies.

Feedback from Direct Email

Feedback

A student suggested that an end-of-week video could be posted with a PDF or Word document with the specific case or pathophysiology answers to accompany each case.

Recommendation

It is clear that students, while they have enjoyed the format, are requesting additional specific answers for each case study. This can be incorporated in the next offering; however, it must be weighed against the concern that students only read the answers and do not understand the content.

Feedback from SUTE UNIT COMMENTS REPORT - T2, 2023

Feedback

Students thought the case studies provided real-world scenarios and were great learning tools.

Recommendation

The case studies have proven to be popular and will be a cornerstone in the next delivery. Before the upcoming offering, efforts will be made to enhance both the format and the delivery method of the information to enhance student satisfaction further.
