Public Consultation on PHECC's Draft 2011 Education and Tr Date: September 2010 To: Targeted audience Re: Public consultation on PHECC’s Draft 2011 Education and Training Standard From: Michael Garry, Chair of the Accreditation committee I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Pre‐Hospital Emergency Care Council to request your time to respond to this public consultation on the next edition of PHECC’s education and training standard 2011. I would also very much appreciate if you would circulate this information widely throughout your organisation. Background The current education and training standards (Edition 1) was approved by Council in April 2007. This standard has been the framework for upwards of 40 recognised institutions to deliver over 120 recognised pre‐hospital emergency care courses and to make responder level awards. In 2008, Council commissioned an external educational review of the existing suite of clinical courses and the work by Dr. Hemal Thakore is acknowledged. Subsequently, every recognised course was re‐ examined to ensure consistency with the current edition of CPGs, other PHECC standards and the evolving scope of practice of practitioners and responders. Emergency Care is the title of the proposal for a new level responder course that aims to bridge the divide between cardiac first response and emergency first response courses. Council rules have also been revisited and the purpose of this consultation is to identify if there is consensus that all the issues relating to the recognition of institutions and courses are comprehensively addressed. How is the 2011 standard constructed? The development of the standard is a major project necessitating in part a review of existing material, for other areas new material is proposed or remains a work in progress. There are 4 principal documents in the standard and each can be accessed by clicking on the hyperlinks below. 1. Draft Council rules for the recognition of institutions and courses 2. Draft PHECC’s teaching faculty framework 3. Draft Recognition of prior learning 4. Draft Recognised courses: cardiac first response emergency care (will be added in due course) emergency first response EMC (call taker and dispatcher) emergency medical technician paramedic advanced paramedic Ed & Training standard _consultation electronic Scope of consultation During this public consultation a number of key stakeholders will be targeted and include: 1. Recognised institutions 2. PHECC working groups, Committees and Council 3. CPG approved organisations 4. Others: website and PHECC’s newsletter 5. Other targeted individuals or organisations as appropriate You are asked to submit your feedback in writing before the 29.10.2010 to P. Dempsey PHECC Abbey Moat House Abbey St. Naas Co Kildare or by email to [email protected] Many thanks to you for your greatly valued assistance; I look forward to receiving your submission. Please note that all submissions received are subject to the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts and a list of all persons who provided submissions may be published. Further copies of the standards are available on application to [email protected] or phoning the office on 045‐882042. The draft documents are also available from the home page on the PHECC’s website www.phecc.ie. What next? During the consultation period, all the responses will be reviewed and the comments considered as part of the ongoing development of the standard. At the end of this designated period, the feedback will be compiled and discussed by the Accreditation Committee and Council in early December. PHECC would like to clarify that recognition of institutions under a 2007 application will continue for a minimum period of 3 years. During the transition a number of institutions have or will have their 3 year period extended. In 2011 it is envisaged that institutions will reapply for course recognition on a phased basis. PHECC will work with individual institutions and endeavour to keep disruption to scheduled training courses to a minimum.

PHECCs primary role is to protect the public. The statutory functions of Council shall be to recognise, in accordance with the rules made by Council, - institutions providing education and training in pre‐hospital emergency care and in pursuit of the award of NQEMT, - the content of courses for such education and training, - the standards of theoretical and practical knowledge required for qualifications in pre‐ hospital emergency care. In the Strategic Plan, Council is committed to ensuring that recognised institutions and course content in First Response and Emergency Medical Technology reflect contemporary best practice and to ensuring that pre‐hospital emergency care responders and practitioners achieve and maintain competency at the appropriate performance standard.

Signed: ___________________ Rita Darcy 24th June 2016 iii Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore what is the optimal design of a patient assessment Smartphone application that will be used by Mountain Rescue team members. It is proposed that a suitably designed application could assist Mountain Rescue team members in conducting and recording a patient assessment during a callout. A review was conducted of existing First Aid and Mountain Rescue apps. A Smartphone app was discovered that assists with patient assessments in remote emergency care situations, called the NOLS (National Outdoor Learning School) SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan) Note Smartphone application. This application could potentially be used in Mountain Rescue.
