Choosing the Right Health Industry Course for You

​Health related courses are a great way to learn new knowledge and skills that you can use in situations that require immediate and urgent attention. But with so many to choose from, how do you decide which one is best for you? At Wilson Medic One, we specialise in delivering state of the art learning opportunities for people throughout Australia – so let us tell you more about a few options that might be perfect for you.

Paramedic courses:

Paramedics provide an invaluable service to our society, taking care of people who need it most in some of the most confronting situations. If you feel confident in your ability to deliver level-headed care to people who urgently require it, then you might want to consider doing a paramedic course. There are several options available whether you are already in the health industry – such as our registered nurse to paramedic program – or if you want to make your way into a Bachelor’s degree with our Diploma of Paramedical science. This is a great way to forge a rewarding career as a paramedic by providing you with all the skills and knowledge you require to succeed.

Workplace first aid:

First aid in the workplace is extremely important, as it ensures that medical emergencies can be tended to by someone who knows how to give best practice care to anyone who might need it. Skills learnt throughout this course will allow you to confidently address broken bones, chest pain/heart attacks, asthma, strokes, seizures, bleeding among other things, as well as perform CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator.

This course is perfect for those people who feel comfortable tending to injuries or illness that may occur in the workplace, keeping in mind that this can range from minor to severe in scope. Additionally, the workplace first aid course runs for just one day and only requires a refresher course every 2 years, so it’s perfect for those people who want to upskill but don’t have a large amount of time on their hands.

Mental health awareness:

There’s no doubt that mental health is becoming more and more of a pressing issue for people of all ages, genders and backgrounds, which is why awareness courses have become so important in recent years. If you’re interested in learning how to support people who are suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia, this course is right for you. It will provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to assist people in the workplace specifically, but also holds a strong component that is relevant to groups throughout the community.
