Program highlights

Equip your learners with the confidence to act when it matters most.

The Emergency and Unscheduled Care immersive program is designed to build clinical confidence in high-stakes environments. Aligned to Level 4 qualifications and developed in collaboration with education and industry experts, it equips learners with the skills to assess, manage, and respond to urgent care scenarios with clarity and precision.

Immersive virtual scenarios allow learners to practise critical decision-making, patient assessment, and effective interventions — all within a safe, controlled environment. These modules strengthen clinical confidence, communication, and critical thinking while reducing reliance on in-person simulation or placement hours.

This scalable, cost-effective solution empowers education providers to deliver tailored support, enhance learner outcomes, and meet the expectations of regulators and employers — all while maintaining flexibility across multiple cohorts.

Learning outcomes

By using and completing this program, it is expected that users will:

  • Have the confidence to accurately assess a patient, gather relevant history, and make an informed triage decision, ensuring timely and appropriate care.
  • Learn questioning techniques to identify the cause of the patient’s anxiety, use effective management techniques, and support the patient in engaging in advocacy or community action.
  • Gain the knowledge required to detect and manage heavy bleeding, ensure safe delivery, and monitor the mother for signs of postpartum hemorrhage, providing timely care.
  • Develop the skills to recognise a cardiac event, perform necessary observations, ensure safe transfer, and correctly conduct a 12-lead ECG for further treatment. 

Contents

This program contains the following virtual scenarios:

In this scenario, the learner takes on the role of a healthcare professional (nurse or paramedic) tasked with performing a set of observations, taking a relevant medical history, and determining the appropriate course of action for a female patient of childbearing age who is experiencing abdominal pain and feeling unwell. The learner must carry out the following tasks safely and efficiently:

  • Perform a full set of observations relevant to the patient’s condition

  • Gather a focused medical history based on the patient’s symptoms and condition

  • Make an informed triage decision and determine the appropriate next steps for patient care

In this scenario, the learner takes on the role of a healthcare professional (HCP) working as part of a school health team. They are supporting a 17-year-old boy who has experienced an anxiety attack triggered by an ecological emergency — specifically, local water contamination that has resulted in rationing and reliance on bottled water. The learner must carry out the following tasks safely and efficiently:

  • Assess and identify the root cause of the patient’s ecological anxiety

  • Use appropriate techniques to manage anxiety, avoiding statements that may trigger further distress

  • Support the patient by exploring ways they can engage in advocacy or community action related to environmental concerns

In this scenario, the learner takes on the role of a midwife attending a home birth. Upon arrival, they find the mother on the floor with the baby’s head visible. After assisting with a successful delivery, the mother begins to feel light-headed, dizzy, and unwell approximately five minutes post-birth. The learner must carry out the following tasks safely and efficiently:

  • Detect significant changes in patient observations, such as vital signs, and take appropriate action

  • Recognise heavy bleeding in a patient and respond immediately and appropriately to manage the situation

  • Safely deliver the baby and confirm that all is normal with the baby post-delivery

  • Shift attention to the mother after delivery, ask appropriate questions, and identify signs of deterioration, including postpartum haemorrhage

In this scenario, the learner takes on the role of a healthcare professional responding to a 40-year-old male construction worker who has developed chest pain after shovelling sand on a building site. The pain has persisted for over an hour, initially thought to be indigestion, but has since intensified and begun radiating into the patient’s left arm and jaw. The patient appears ashen/gray. The learner must carry out the following tasks safely and efficiently:

  • Identify signs and symptoms of a cardiac event and take immediate action

  • Conduct a full set of observations and make informed decisions based on findings, prioritising patient safety

  • Gather a relevant medical history, considering risk factors indicative of a cardiac event

  • Ensure the safe transfer of the patient to the ambulance, avoiding unnecessary movement

  • Correctly perform a 12-lead ECG once the patient is safely positioned
