Make our adrenal crisis management Paramedic Training Sessions part of your continuous professional development (CPD).
The sessions are FREE to attendees (subsidised by the charity) and take place on Zoom. They are an educational session on Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency set in context with the JRCALC guidelines for emergency management. Each session is complemented by members’ own experiences, so alongside the theory you hear real-life accounts from real people.
Who are these sessions for?
- Ambulance trusts and services looking to run CPD sessions for their teams
- Individual paramedics
- People studying to work in the emergency services
- Members of voluntary organisations that provide emergency services
What do the sessions cover?
- Adrenal insufficiency, including Addison's disease - what it is and how likely emergency services teams are to encounter adrenal crises.
- An overview of adrenal crisis - why it's important to get early treatment right, how to spot it, and how to manage it set in context with the JRCALC guidelines.
- The ways patients can prevent and prepare for emergencies and how this could help you - an overview of various medic alerts, NHS steroid emergency card and information patients might carry.
- A chance to discuss experiences with and ask questions of people with adrenal insufficiency for real-life perspectives.
How long are the sessions?
1 hour and 15 minutes. To obtain your CPD certificate following the session, you must attend for the whole session (your attendance time is noted automatically by Zoom)
What do previous attendees think of the training course?
Incredibly engaging, information was pitched at the right level and showed a good understanding of the ambulance service and what we need to know. Personal experiences made it even more tangible and realistic to us. The feedback from staff who attended the sessions has been overwhelmingly positive"
A very well-presented session, efficient yet human, about a subject I knew too little about. Lots of useful, practical information.”
