World-class PHEA training
Our two-day Pre-Hospital Emergency Anaesthesia course is for professionals working in healthcare, including doctors, paramedics and nurses.
You will learn how to safely anaesthetise a patient in the pre-hospital environment through a combination of classroom and realistic scenario-based training. There is a strong practical element to the course, culminating in the final day of outdoor moulages and simulated scenarios involving ambulance and fire and rescue services.
PHEA with GNAAS
At the heart of the course is the instructor faculty, which comprises senior doctors and paramedics who work in the field in both civilian and military settings.
Key to the past success of the PHEA course is candidates’ ability to tap into this considerable experience. The faculty remains present throughout the course and is friendly and approachable.
Some sims will be facilitated using Syncura, an objective clinical simulation app that measures performance and provides instant feedback to accelerate learning, improve decision-making, and strengthen clinical readiness.
Eligibility
It is assumed that candidates will already be familiar with aspects of basic trauma care/resuscitation and should be accustomed to scenario-based learning. These eligibility recommendations are for guidance only. If in doubt, please get in touch by emailing training@gnaas.com
