MicroCPD Summary
This MicroCPD course equips EMS personnel, paramedics, ambulance healthcare workers, and clinical psychologists with practical, evidence-based Psychological First Aid (PFA) strategies to support individuals exposed to trauma. Participants will learn to recognise early signs of psychological distress, apply structured PFA techniques, implement peer-support interventions, and foster a mental health positive culture in prehospital services. By integrating early psychological intervention, HCPs can reduce PTSD risk, enhance resilience, and improve long-term mental well-being in prehospital and emergency settings.
