Charles Sturt University (CSU) paramedic students will gain an insight into the rescue and treatment of patients involved in a car crash during a simulation exercise on Tuesday 22 September. The simulation at CSU in Bathurst will also involve representatives from NSW Police, NSW Ambulance and the State Emergency Service (SES). Associate lecturer Ms Amanda Hlushak from CSU's School of Biomedical Sciences said motor vehicle accidents are often a daily occurrence in the job of a paramedic. "Bringing together multiple agencies to participate in a large scale simulation, such as a this motor vehicle simulation, means that students can see first-hand how these services work together and the important role they play in motor vehicle accidents," she said. "This is invaluable for students to see before they experience it in their work placements." Some first year students, along with peer tutors, will participate in the simulation exercise while another 150 students are expected to observe.
