Student Paramedic Essentials

As a Student Paramedic, managing a large volume of information in high-pressure situations is crucial. To assist you, we’ve curated essential resources that are invaluable from the start of your studies through your placements. Conveniently attachable to a lanyard or belt loop, these tools help you maintain confidence and enhance your skills without relying on phone signals or battery life.

For those just beginning their journey, we highly recommend starting with our NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score) and GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) cards. These cards are essential tools that you will frequently use in various emergency scenarios to quickly assess and prioritize patient conditions. The NEWS2 card helps in evaluating the severity of a patient's condition based on vital signs, while the GCS card is crucial for assessing consciousness levels and neurological status. Both are fundamental for effective decision-making and patient management.

Additionally, our Step-By-Step cards are designed to streamline patient assessments. These cards provide a clear, structured approach to conducting thorough evaluations, guiding you through each critical step to ensure comprehensive and accurate assessments. This systematic approach helps in maintaining consistency and efficiency, which is vital in high-pressure situations.

These resources not only enhance your practical skills but also support your learning process by providing quick, reliable reference points. They are invaluable tools that help bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring you are well-prepared for the challenges you will face on the job.
