Annex 21 Training
For those who are highly experienced, you will complete a transition to practice course (seven weeks) followed by an ePortfolio of capability which can include evidence from across your clinical experience as well as your first six months in pre-hospital care, followed by an end point assessment to ratify competence. For those who are early career or have less experience in healthcare, then we will support you to develop over a longer period of time (as described above), including completing ambulance aid skills training and further consolidation of pre-hospital competencies. During this time, you will be deployed with a reduced scope of practice, a reduced discharge permissions level and a reduced set of patient group directives for medication use whilst you gain experience and confidence.
You will still have a level of clinical autonomy and may be crewed with a non-registered healthcare professional. As you grow your experience and complete a competency portfolio, you will then progress through education gateways to become a fully qualified pre-hospital practitioner. You will complete your e-portfolio and be able to exit to your end point assessment, at 12, 18 or 24 months dependent on your readiness.
