Core Skills – Multi-Agency Response
This is a one-day hands-on course which focuses on the knowledge and skills required to assess and treat pre-hospital emergency patients as part of a multi-agency response.

- Identify The skills, equipment and roles that can be deployed in a prehospital event when working towards the best treatment and management of the patient
- Discuss The skills, roles and responsibilities of the different agencies and the individuals within
- Demonstrate Team working, interagency understanding, communication and cooperation
- Outline How interagency working, when used to best effect, for the best management of the patient
How the day will run:
A one-day skills based experiential learning module with the aim of focusing on the knowledge and skills required to assess and treat a patient involved in a multi-agency pre-hospital medical event. This course focuses on the different agencies working together while using the skills and equipment that they would normally carry, to manage their combined resources for the best outcome for the patient. This course has an associated e-learning module which you can access at https://basics-scotland.org.uk/basicslms/resource-hub/
The Session begins with a facilitated discussion around the learning needs of the group and any challenges they have faced in practice, the sessions then move to skill stations to learn and practice essential skills, this is then reinforced in scenarios enabling a chance to practice the assessment and treatment strategies from throughout the day.
The remainder of the learning focuses on the structured debrief of the scenarios and lessons learned from these sessions
