Overview
This unit will build on your existing knowledge of pharmacology and advanced clinical assessment and intervention. You will learn to use advanced clinical vital sign monitoring and interventions to build an accurate clinical picture to advocate for patient evacuation with the most appropriate available transport assets. Planning, operational control, triage and patient packaging for systematic evacuation will be introduced. You will be introduced to advanced clinical care practices for prolonged field care scenarios where evacuation is deferred indefinitely. Risk mitigation and situational awareness techniques learned in direct and indirect threat care units will be built upon and further incorporated into the clinical assessment to ensure a measured situational response in the event of threat re-escalation. You will synthesise clinical data obtained through ongoing patient assessment to implement an ongoing treatment plan in preparation for evacuation.

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 Unit Coordinator reflection.
Without qualitative SUTE data, it is challenging to identify targeted points for improvement.
Students must be made aware of the impact of SUTE data and its importance for continued improvement, despite the multiple feedback pathways available. SUTE feedback should be prioritised.
