This intensive, 80 hour program is designed to meet the needs of ‘on-site’ advanced care personnel. In some cases (industry dependant), support for communication consult policy, casualty care procedures and/or protocols, contained in this program will be required from the designated Site Medical Officer (a Doctor). Many of the drugs used during this program are used only for ‘example’ purposes and their use outside of the classroom does not infer their acceptance ‘on-site’.
