Provide Emergency Care for Suspected Spinal Injury
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)This unit is ideal for emergency responders, healthcare providers, and individuals working in environments where spinal injuries are a risk, such as sports fields, construction sites, or water-based activities.
The course covers the knowledge and skills needed to minimise further harm to a casualty, whether conscious or unconscious, while providing first aid and awaiting emergency medical services in both workplace and community settings.
Participants will learn to recognise and manage suspected spinal injuries, immobilise the cervical spine using manual in-line stabilisation (MILS) and spinal equipment, evaluate when a casualty can or cannot be moved, prepare a casualty for safe transport, monitor them during transfer, and perform a structured handover to emergency services.
