About this course

Prolonged Field Care (PFC) is the discipline of keeping a casualty alive and stable when evacuation is delayed for hours or days - a mainstream planning assumption now, not an edge case.

It shifts the emphasis from rapid procedures to sustained management: getting the resuscitation right early, then nursing, monitoring and decision-making held forward by the team.

What you will cover

  • The PFC framework and the ten core capabilities
  • Resuscitation you cannot revisit - haemorrhage, airway, access
  • Nursing care over time - positioning, catheterisation, pressure areas
  • Analgesia and sedation strategies that can be sustained
  • Monitoring and trend analysis with minimal equipment
  • Documentation, telemedicine reachback and team management

Who it is for

  • Remote, maritime & adventure
  • First responders & medics
