Prehospital Medicine

What you'll study

Prehospital medicine is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the treatment of injury and illness outside a hospital, and in particular, working to manage the time-critical reversible aspects of physiological processes activated when the human body suffers significant clinical insult.

This innovative programme follows the hugely successful iBSc in Prehospital Medicine delivered at Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, an internationally renowned institution. The MSc brings together key areas of theory and practice necessary for advanced practitioners. You’ll combine concepts, materials and practice to form the technical and non-technical basis for praxis.

You’ll learn key skills and specific practitioner attributes including high quality interprofessional working, incident and scene management and human factors. Modules are synergistic and together form a basis for an exciting masters programme. For example, a focus on human factors, simulation and performance is joined with modules exploring cutting-edge science, so that you receive a holistic and realistic medical education.

The programme is run in partnership with the Institute of Prehospital Care (IoPHC) at London’s Air Ambulance, a world leader in the field of pre-hospital medicine. Through its research, innovation and education activities, the Institute has influenced clinical guidelines, governance standards, and the practice of air ambulances in the UK, Europe and Australia.
