DISTANCE TRAINING IN DRUG AWARENESS FOR AMBULANCE CREWS
NARCAID ECODA
The Narcaid ECODA Unit is a UK-based international distance learning center dedicated to training ambulance crews in the recognition and management of drug related incidents. ECODA (‘Emergency Care Orientated Drug Awareness’) is our unique research-based knowledge base. It is designed to familiarize students with essential information re all major licit, illicit and pharmaceutical presentations common to the pre-hospital environment. The curriculum makes extensive use of real-life case study and e-tutoring support, delivered by a substance misuse specialist nurse. Successful completion of the programme leads to a certificate suitable for continuing professional development and accredited by the British Paramedic Association. It is also a Royal College of Nursing Approved Professional Course and graduates receive RCN certification.
