Prometheus Medical International are extremely proud to have partnered with West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) by delivering 10 NAEMT PHTLS courses this year to 98 Paramedic Mentors across their trust.

The selfless work carried out by all at WMAS was emphasised during the course deliveries, with several candidates being identified as potential instructors. What sets Prometheus Medical International apart is the use of clinically current instructors including HCPC Paramedics, Doctors and other Pre-Hospital Specialists, and it was great to see course feedback reflecting this:

Both instructors were knowledgeable in their fields, it was refreshing that they were both paramedics & have experience in the field . Many courses I have attended have different people covering pre-hospital that don’t understand the area.

Prometheus Medical International deliver both open courses that allow individual students to book online, and group bookings. This allows ambulance trusts the flexibility to book a block of students either at our site in Herefordshire, or at their own facility, using our hands-on, high-fidelity training aids. Utilising our 11-acre training centre, we can simulate a number of hyper realistic scenarios which engage students, as well as a range of classroom theory to embed knowledge and promote skills retention.

Highlights from the May 2024 Course

Experienced Instructors

Our students benefitted greatly from instructors who are not only knowledgeable but also actively practising in the field. One student noted:

“The instructors had a good subject knowledge based on experience both previous and current. I always feel this is so valuable to have staff that know and do, rather than just teach.”

We appreciate this feedback as we strive to provide the most current and relevant training possible.

Engaging Lectures and Practical Sessions

We believe in immersive learning to enhance retention. Our students particularly enjoyed the blend of classroom and outdoor sessions. One student shared:

“Expedition medicine by its nature is an outdoor activity and it was great when we could to hold sessions outside, as it added to the realism. I enjoyed the split between classroom and practical as this was engaging!”

This hands-on approach and interactive teaching made the course both educational and enjoyable.

Comprehensive Course Content

Our holistic approach covers all essential aspects of expedition medicine. One student highlighted the importance of addressing mental attitude:

“Great to see this as part of the course, and very professionally mature, to see this included, as is so often overlooked. I feel this is a critical aspect as poor mental attitude from one individual can adversely impact the entire team.”

Steve Backshall trains with Prometheus!

Prometheus was delighted to renew Steve Backshall’s medical training last week on his #TECC course. NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course is renowned worldwide as it teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.

 

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Steve Backshall” company_name=”TV Presenter / Adventurer” quote_icon_color=”#1b355e” admin_label=”Testimonial Steve” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f0f0f8″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” width=”100%” sticky_enabled=”0″ module_alignment=”center”]

“Every time I do this course it reminds me of how even entry-level skills could save lives. The actions a bystander takes in the first few minutes of an emergency are the most crucial.”

[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Steve was very complimentary regarding our faculty of instructors who are all top-notch, up-to-date doctors, nurses and paramedics, he said, “get training from people who do it for real!”

Our instructors immerse students in the scenarios and we find the hands-on aspect of our training courses impacts the retention of knowledge – students are empowered with confidence.

Steve says that with training, “When a crisis hits you’ll be less likely to panic, and do the basic things really well. you could well save a life.” We agree and prepare our students for any scenario they might encounter.

“It was really great to see Steve again, and his enthusiasm for learning every aspect to the highest level, we felt privileged to work with him as he pushes himself to achieve the highest standards. We also invited Doctor Malcolm Russell MD to provide Steve with instruction as he was not only the founder of Prometheus, but he also works as part of UK Fire & Rescue Service International Search and Rescue Team (UKISAR) who deploy worldwide to countries suffering a humanitarian crisis.”

[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

We offer training to the absolute beginner, who can qualify for First Responder level on the Qualsafe FREC 3 course, to seasoned medical professionals who train with us for their continuous professional development (CPD), and to add new skills, like caring for patients in a tactical, remote, or austere environments on the TECC course, or ExpeMed™ which has developed a well-earned reputation for being the leading expedition medicine course in the UK.

Medical scenarios bring training to life for students

Prometheus instructors hosted a medical scenario demonstration day for a Consultancy and Training client to showcase and demonstrate to staff how to get the best out of Medical Scenario training. The staff had all previously completed First Response Emergency Care Level 3 RQF (FREC 3)  training with Prometheus and they attended the day to gain full insight into how they could facilitate their own scenario training for the rest of their departments, using SIMBODIES and casualty simulation make-up to recreate scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their sector.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

SIMBODIES, who are also a part of the global company Safeguard Medical, are renowned for simulation and moulage equipment, designed to closely replicate the look and appearance of the human body.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Medical scenario training day

The day started with a fantastic hands-on, practical session from SIMBODIES who demonstrated applying realistic casualty simulation (cassim) makeup on casualty actors and the life-like SIMBODIES manikins. A full range of wounds and injuries were realistically recreated using simulation sleeves and wound prosthetics.

The scenarios and demonstrations during the day were designed to reflect the types of scenarios that our client’s emergency medical responders face in their workplace. All are First Response Emergency Care Level 3 RQF (FREC 3) trained by Prometheus, undertaking their responder role in addition to their main workplace role, so the medical scenarios and casualty simulation were designed to demonstrate their FREC 3 competencies and give them confidence to apply them in a real-world situation.

Scenarios included a cardiac arrest incident (Basic Life Support and AED skills), a multi-casualty incident involving a vehicle, and the casualties included multi-system trauma and medical emergency.

Serve on Charity Volunteers Receive First Response Training

Posted on by admin

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Prometheus Medical has recently facilitated First Response Emergency Care training for the humanitarian charity Serve On. They operate crisis response in the UK and abroad to help people at the time of their greatest need.

The dedicated Serve On volunteers that support the charity’s efforts undergo a selection process, and we are proud to have provided training to help them save more lives.

Undertaking our Qualsafe accredited First Response Emergency Care (FREC) Level 3 award involves practical training to offer the emergency responder an enhanced medical capability to deal with a casualty in trauma or medical emergency. The course is tailored to the specific needs of each organisation and focuses on the provision of effective trauma medical management in all environments and industries.

Serve On chose Prometheus Medical to provide the FREC 3 course on-site at our purpose-built facility in Hereford due to previous successful training courses with us. When asked why they claimed we “have a great industry reputation on delivering training and making it relevant to the candidates”.

Initially set up to give a new purpose to former military personnel, Serve On volunteers are now selected from all walks of life, aged from 14 to 65+ and comprised of current and previous professions from emergency services responders and nurses to carpenters and electricians.

The volunteers use their experience and skills to create rescue teams, including the International Response Team, Community Resilience Teams, Rescue Rookies and Dog Rescue Team. They also mentor young, marginalised or disadvantaged members of their community and we are keen to help promote the valuable work they do at home and beyond. Contributing to the charity with various functions from ”boots on the ground” aid to management support services, the students were highly engaged throughout the training, and our instructor commented that it was a “very enjoyable course to teach”.

We were thrilled to hear in the post-training feedback that the students enjoyed their time with us, stating that “the course was tailored to deal with scenarios that we as Dog Handlers would deal with along with day-to-day First Responder scenarios. Our instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, with a wealth of hands-on experience. In addition, we found that all the Prometheus Medical staff we dealt with were very helpful and made everything very easy”.

Funded by individual donations, the Department For Transport and the People’s Postcode Lottery, among a handful of other organisations, monetary support of any amount is valuable to this privately financed organisation. We implore you to donate if you can and help this awe-inspiring charity to continue its crucial work. Make your donation at here.
