Advanced Medical First Responder
This is a comprehensive skills oriented training program for people who have specific roles and responsibilities as team members responding to medical and trauma related emergencies (i.e. mine and plant safety personnel, security personnel, police, fire and emergencies first response teams). This 52 hour modular program requires the student to devote 12 hours to precourse reading and at home review, in addition to 40 hours of class time. Our revised curriculum uses the new Canadian edition Emergency Medical Responder that meets the Paramedic Association of Canada's National Occupational Competency Profile. St. John Ambulance will tailor this course to meet the specific requirements of your industry. Core topics include roles and responsibilities, infection control, scene management, advanced primary and secondary assessment protocols, hand-over to EMS, airway management and oxygen administration, cardiovascular emergencies (with AED), hard and soft tissue injuries and medical emergencies. Elective lessons that reflect workplace specific situations will be selected. The classroom emphasis is on skills stations, realistic intervention scenarios, and use of industry specific adjunctive equipment.
