Provide Advanced First Aid

The Provide Pain Management course (PUAEM008) is designed for those who may be required to administer analgesia (pain relief) during their duties as a first aider. Most first aiders are not required to provide pain management due to the close proximity of ambulance resources or definitive care at hospital. However, remote environments or high risk industries may choose to provide their first aiders with pain relief medications such as Paracetamol, Methoxyflurane or Ibuprofen. This course develops the skills of how to assess pain and administer a pain relief medications when clinically indicated while maintaining the legal requirements of the use of such medications.

The Provide First Aid in Remote Situations course is designed to equip students with superior first aid response capabilities. The course includes patient management and life support to persons in remote locations and situations, away from readily available emergency response services. The course looks at how to deal with variables that may not be relevant in an urban emergency.

This 3-day course combines the critical elements of HLTAID013 and HLTAID014 to provide a comprehensive learning experience in both advanced and remote first aid techniques. Designed for those who anticipate the need for extensive first aid knowledge and skills in diverse environments, this course prepares participants for emergencies where advanced intervention is required, possibly in remote or isolated settings.
