Pre-hospital emergency skills for medical students

Conclusion These results show that there is some anxiety amongst students about being able to manage pre-hospital emergencies in which the public might expect them to cope or in which they feel obliged to help. The results show that although students would be willing to help they may not posess the necessary knowledge to do so. They show that there is a demand for teaching focussed on these skills but that there is not necessarily a need for it taking into account the frequency of incidents encountered. A trial teaching programme will take place in July.
