Introduction

The Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Training Agency First Person on Scene (FPOS) qualifications train individuals so that they may provide immediate life support to patients pending the arrival of definitive Pre-Hospital care such as a State Registered Paramedic responder or a fully equipped emergency ambulance. Effective interventions in the following areas have been shown to make a difference to survival outcome, and are reflected in the FPOS qualifications framework:

- Airway stabalisation

- Basic life support

- Early defibrillation

- Oxygenation

- Circulatory support

Clinical endorsement for the FPOS framework and assessments will be through the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (Edinburgh). Whilst achievement of qualifications and units within the framework confirms that individuals have met both the theoretical and practical requirements.

FPoS Qualifications

The Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Training Agency deliver three levels of FPoS Training Courses as follows:

The FPoS Basic and Intermediate qualifications are by direct entry, and where the role is justified, learners may be trained in additional skills and knowledge from within the FPOS Qualifications Framework.

Access to the FPoS Enhanced qualification is for holders of the FPOS Intermediate qualification.

FPoS qualifications are valid for a period of 3 years from the date of successful completion. Learners will be expected to maintain their skills and knowledge.

FPoS Re-qualification courses must be undertaken every 3 years.
