We believe in the philosophy of skill acquisition and professional development.  The organisation recognizes that knowledge, skills, and confidence develop over time with structured support.

Provides learning and feedback to assist nurses in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to provide safe and effective patient care.

It enables the development of a range of transferable clinical, professional and personal skills that can be used in care delivery, teamwork, and leadership throughout one’s career.

Minimizes risk by ensuring that all staff know the standard of care required and that care is provided by those competent to deliver it.

Flight nurses (PICU or NICU-based) are required to support Paediatric patients requiring aircraft-based transport. 

This necessitates existing staff knowledge to be regularly assessed (and/or) updated

A successful course outcome (Certificate of Achievement issue) will give the PICU Clinical Team Leaders confidence that the participants meet the legal safety obligation for Aircraft Safety Emergency Procedures.
