Poisons Permits
iEMS will provide a poisons permit as part of our wider scope of services. The Poison Permit is issued by the WA Department of Health and is valid for medications in Schedules 2,3,4 and 8 and for unscheduled medications.
iEMS enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Pharmaceutical Services Branch of the WA Department of Health.
Clinical Practice Guidelines
iEMS provides evidence-based, best practice Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG’s) for use by our clients. Far from being a static document, iEMS regularly reviews the CPG’s, to ensure that our clinical practice meets our core values.
Our Clinical Practice Guidelines and Primary Health Care Guidelines are industry leading and unrivalled by our competition. Our CPG’s are structured around the four main levels of out-of-hospital health care practice:
- Grade 1 – First Responder
- Grade 2 – Industrial Medic
- Grade 3 – Paramedic / Registered Nurse
- Grade 4 – Intensive Care Paramedic / Clinical Nurse Specialist
These CPG’s set the benchmark of service for your staff. The ability to read and learn CPG’s is paramount to patient safety and efficient health care delivery. Your staff are empowered to initiate treatments and provide medications up to their level of authority.
Where a situation is outside of their scope of practice, iEMS are available 24 hours.
Medical Consultations
iEMS provides a 24 hour clinical consultation service to our clients. Calls are initially triaged by one of our experienced Paramedics. With an extended scope-of-practice, our Paramedics are able to manage most consultations.
