Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC) - Melbourne 27 March 2025

The Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC) course is designed to equip you with the essential skills to respond to emergencies in the unpredictable and high-pressure prehospital environment. Delivered by a passionate team of Rural Generalists and pre-hospital specialists, you’ll be supported to translate your existing clinical skills to the prehospital setting within a fun, relaxed and supportive learning environment.

The course includes an online component, consisting of 8 hours of self-directed online learning that is followed by a full-day, hand on workshop during which you will apply what you have learnt in the online modules to manage simulated scenarios in an immersive outdoor environment.

Additional information

This course takes place outdoors and may involve physically demanding scenarios, many of which occur on the ground. Participants should be prepared for extended periods of kneeling, potential lifting, and moving over uneven terrain.

Participants must ensure they wear weather-appropriate clothing that allows movement and provides sun protection. Please wear enclosed footwear and bring a hat, water, and sunscreen.

If you have any concerns about your ability to participate or require reasonable adjustments, please contact us before registering—we are happy to discuss ways to support your involvement.

Please note that PHEC focussed on the translation of your existing skills to the prehospital environment and it is assumed that you will have prior knowledge and competence in managing emergencies, these core skills are not explicitly taught.

It is mandatory that participants complete the self-directed online learning program (inclusive of MCQs) prior to attending the full day face to face workshop and competency validation.

It is mandatory that participants be present for the entire duration of the face-to-face workshop. Therefore, it is highly recommended for interstate travellers to arrive at the course location at least one day prior to the commencement of the course.

If for any reason a participant arrives after the course has commenced or departs before the end of the course, they will be ineligible to compete the course or be allocated the CPD/MOPS hours. The participant may be required to re-book which will incur additional charges.
