Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) and the College of Paramedics developed an e-learning module which provides educational support for paramedics and emergency responders.
Supporting Paramedic Practice During COVID-19 is available within the paramedics e-learning programme and includes interactive learning experiences that are accessible on mobile devices.
Supporting paramedic practice during COVID-19
Written by experienced paramedic e-learning authors for the College of Paramedics, the module includes 5 sessions of varied lengths which learners can select individually, or complete as a whole module.
The sessions include:
- the assessment and management of COVID-19 patients for paramedics
- paramedic wellbeing during a pandemic
- mechanical ventilators used in prehospital care
- paramedic use of PPE
- COVID-19 additional guidance for paramedics
By completing the module, you will achieve a greater understanding of virus transmission, assessment and management of COVID-19 patients and contribute to your Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Learners have found the COVID-19 module to be “a very good source of information”, “all very relevant and interesting” and commented that the e-learning is “very clear and easy to understand” and they “will recommend it to colleagues”.
Other modules in the paramedics programme include:
- clinical decision making for paramedics
- mental health for paramedics
- pain management for paramedics

As knowledge of the effects and management of the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve, we welcome your feedback.
You will be invited to rate and leave a comment at the end of each session. Leaving free-text comments helps us to develop learning resources which are relevant to you and your colleagues.
