Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role.

There must be evidence that the candidate has checked the safety of transport vehicle and safely transported three different non-emergency patients under operational conditions including:

loading and unloading

performing driving skills suited to the case being attended

assessing and analysing available driving routes using navigation aids and available resources

efficiently and safely driving patient transfer vehicles under different operational conditions for transport of non-emergency patients

adhering to applicable road traffic Acts and regulations

A non-emergency patient is defined as an individual that requires transport and may not require active treatment by a clinician while en-route to a receiving facility.

Knowledge Evidence

Demonstrated knowledge required to complete the tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit:

methods of loading and unloading non-emergency patients

organisational policies and procedures for:

vehicles used for transportation of non-emergency patients

equipment in vehicle

vehicle checks

cleanliness of vehicle

reporting of faulty vehicle

risk assessment of faults

relevant Acts and Regulations

organisational policies procedures related to transport of non-emergency patients including:

manual handling and lifting

care and restraint of patient and others during transportation

non-emergency patient care procedures during transportation

State/Territory road rules and regulations when driving patient transfer vehicles

use of communications equipment and systems for transporting non-emergency patients

stock inventory and the safe storage and disposal of pharmacological products

protocols for safe transport of vehicle occupants:

patients

crew

clinical staff

relatives or carers

assistance animals.

Assessment Conditions

Skills must be demonstrated in an operational vehicle used for the transport of non-emergency patients. This should be in the workplace or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions.

Where simulation is used, it must reflect real working conditions by modelling industry operating conditions and contingencies, as well as using suitable facilities, equipment and resources.

Driving skills must have been demonstrated at least once using simulation prior to any demonstration in the workplace.

Assessment must ensure access to facilities, resources and equipment as per local governing body including:

transport vehicle

communication protocols, devices and equipment used in emergency vehicles

modelling of industry operating conditions including access to real people when using simulations and scenarios to demonstrate transporting non-emergency patients.

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations’ requirements for assessors.
