Fundamentals of Pre-hospital Care +
FPC+ is an immersive simulation-based training opportunity for pre-hospital clinicians. This 2-day course aims to review the fundamental principles of high-quality care and apply them within high fidelity simulation. These fundamentals were selected by senior paramedics, based on the lessons learnt during their service. FPC+ aims to share these learnings.
The fundamentals we cover.
- Optimising your environment.
- The primary survey.
- Patient assessment.
- Cognitive tools – Pause, communicate, plan, re-assess.
- Dealing with the unexpected.
- Cognitive bias.
Participants will have the opportunity to apply these principles during high fidelity simulations, showcasing a mix of medical, trauma and toxicological presentations. A detailed debrief will follow each simulation. Participants should have a good understanding of the medicine involved, FPC+ is an opportunity to combine the medicine and the fundamentals in a realistic learning environment.
FPC+ is aimed at final year paramedic students, graduates, registered paramedics, and military medics, as well as nurses and doctors working in pre-hospital care.
Aims
- To review the fundamentals of high-quality care
- To review the technical aspects of care relating to common patient presentations.
- To provide learnings that will enhance the provision of care.
- To exemplify a standard of care.
- To provide participants an opportunity to participate in simulation-based learning
- To provide simulations in a realistic immersive environment.

Day 1 sessions will focus on introducing the fundamentals, aided by short simulations and drills. On day 2, we will incorporate the lessons learning into longer, fully immersive scenarios.
Each session will be broken into phases.
- Engagement with learners about their experiences and concerns about the specific presentation (pre-brief)
- Introduction of learnings
- Instructor demonstration
- Learner participation in drill or long scenario
- Debrief
