WA healthcare professionals gain workplace-specific courses

Best known for its first aid courses, St John WA has expanded its training offering to include advanced and workplace-specific capability programs, from clinical upskilling to critical response and leadership development. The expansion is built on St John’s strategic transformation — where wellbeing and lifelong learning are central pillars.

“This expansion takes that same practical, evidence-based learning approach and applies it to the modern workplace — helping people build confidence, competence and care in every environment,” St John WA’s Group CEO Kevin Brown said.

The new courses include:

• Advanced Life Support 1, which develops the skills and knowledge to manage patients during the critical early stages of medical emergencies, with a focus on preventing deterioration and cardiopulmonary arrest — endorsed by the Australian Resuscitation Council; and
• IV/O and Blood Collection Courses, which are hands-on courses that train participants to establish vascular access safely and perform basic venous blood collection effectively, and with confidence — developed and delivered by AHPRA-registered clinical educators with frontline experience.

Each of the new courses provide ‘simulation-based’ learning — including practical scenarios as well as supportive, small group settings — and join St John WA’s suite of existing healthcare training, including Certificate IV in Health Care and Manual Handling for Patient Care.
