About EMS Training

​

Devon EMS Training & Wellbeing CIC have partnered up with EM Premier Training Ltd to provide a dedicated training service for the

Event Medical Sector or for those seeking to work in the sector.

​

The EM Sector is a fast growing sector of pre-hospital care in its own right brought about partly by the introduction of the Qualsafe

FREC suite of qualifications which at PHEM Levels D & E have become the gold standard supported by the statements in the Event Purple Guide that the minimum qualification for those involved in event medical care should be FREC3 or equivalent and that FAW which for years was the mainstay is no longer considered adequate.

​

Via the working partnership with EMPT which is a Qualsafe registered training centre we are able to offer specific courses for the EM Sector, such courses will be delivered by dual registered trainers under the EMPT umbrella or in other cases Highfield.

​

Highfield Level 3 Award in Emergency Care for First Responders RQF

​

The objective of this qualification is to support a role in the workplace, where the primary or secondary focus of the role involves giving emergency medical care as the first responder on the scene of an accident or emergency.

 

Roles may include, security operatives, close protection officers, event medical operatives, cabin crew and community first responders, among others.

​

Topics covered include assessing and responding to incidents; cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for adults, children and infants; therapeutic oxygen therapy and catastrophic bleeding.

 

The qualification also covers assisting a casualty who is suffering from major injury or illness such as chest injuries, spinal injuries, heart attack and anaphylaxis.

​

This qualification provides learners with knowledge and skills which aligns with Category D of the Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) Framework to respond to a range of pre-hospital emergency care situations.

​

In line with industry guidance, the qualification supports responders for a period of 3 years, at which point learners will need to resit the course and be reassessed on both assessment methods. In addition, we recommend that learners refresh their knowledge annually.
