Patient Management in Hazardous Environments
Designed for Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) paramedics, the module builds on the previous learning of candidates who work in these environments

This module will develop comprehensive and systematic knowledge in key aspects of patient care provision, within dynamic, hazardous situations. This knowledge will be underpinned by critical appraisal and discussion around the evidence base for the provision of patient management in a variety of hazardous environments.
Delivery of the module is distance led with formal guidance and support provided in a variety of modalities. Informal support is also provided through assigned tutors.
The module will be assessed via the production of a piece of coursework that will incorporate critical analysis of diverse risk, mitigation strategies, team working with partner agencies and clinical judgements made within a hazardous, peripatetic environment.
