Scope of Practice Update Training

Offered by Delta First Safety

Course Overview

Delta First Safety provides the BC EMALB-approved Scope of Practice Update Training, designed for licensed Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) and First Responders (FRs) seeking to remove restrictions from their current Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board (EMALB) license. This course ensures compliance with the 2024 BCEHS Scope of Practice, covering updates outlined in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Emergency Health Services Act.

Who Should Take This Course?

This training is specifically intended for individuals who already hold a valid EMR or FR license with EMALB and need to update their certification to practice at the latest scope of care.

Course Format & Requirements

  • Blended Learning Approach:
    • Online Modules (Self-Paced) – Must be completed before the first in-class session. Typically takes 2-8 hours.
    • In-Class Training (16 Hours Total) – Two 8-hour instructor-led classroom sessions for hands-on practice and discussion.

Key Training Components

First Responders will be trained to perform additional critical interventions, including:
✔ Use of a blood glucometer
✔ Non-invasive blood pressure measurement
✔ Use and interpretation of a pulse oximeter
Intramuscular/subcutaneous Glucagon administration
Wound packing and anti-clotting agent application
Epinephrine auto-injector administration
