FERNO AUSTRALASIAN PARAMEDIC SIMULATION CHALLENGE SYDNEY, NSW Introduction Objectives The objective of the Ferno Australia Paramedic Simulation Challenge (FernoSim) is to create a fun, challenging and educational experience for emergency medical personnel that results in them being better prepared for the myriad challenges that they may encounter in the fjeld. More importantly, it’s a goal of the FernoSim to enlighten and inspire paramedic students from all over the country to deliver the same quality and compassionate care to all patients they encounter after participating in the FernoSim competition / The FernoSim introduces competitors and audiences to new techniques and technology that can be used to manage patients of all levels of criticality / The competition also enables participants to share their expertise, experience, techniques and technology with EMS colleagues from throughout the world / The FernoSim, unlike other EMS competitions, is not designed to test a team’s ability to recite assessment protocols or achieve “points” for doing the right things / We believe that teams signing up to compete feel confjdent that they excel in assessment and patient care, and that their team members can complete assigned tasks at a rapid, but effjcient pace / About the Sim Challenge The Competition is a 20-minute, scenario-based event that tests each team’s ability to manage multiple patients with varying illnesses or injuries in front of a large audience of their peers / The Competition focuses directly on each team’s ability to: • conduct work as a team; • gain control of a scene including conducting a thorough scene and hazard assessment; • patient and crowd control; • zero in on each patient’s illness or injury and manage each condition in a complete, compassionate and effjcient manner / The competition also serves as an exceptional learning opportunity for the audience and participating teams / FernoSim rules and regulations are designed to ensure standardisation in team preparation and on- site operation and administration of the FernoSim, operated by the Paramedics Australasia Simulation Challenge organizing committee / To ensure consistency with the rules and regulations, only the designated FernoSim Coordinators are permitted to render an interpretation of the rules and regulation, offjcially address team concerns or make on-site operational/administrative decisions / 3 WWW.FERNO.COM.AU/FERNOSIM
