FREC 3 · PRE-COURSE LEARNING
FREC 3 Pre Learning
Videos, articles and diagrams to watch or read before your FREC 3 course. Not exhaustive, but a good baseline for the topics we cover.
Assessment
Primary and secondary survey
You will learn to assess and manage a range of trauma and medical emergencies. Start with the structured primary survey, then the secondary survey and history taking.
Airway & breathing
Respiratory system and airway management
The respiratory system brings in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. These videos cover how breathing works, asthma, and basic airway and bag valve mask skills.
Questions? Our team is happy to help.
Circulation & neuro
Cardiovascular and nervous systems
The heart and vessels work together to supply blood to every part of the body. Cover heart attack, angina, epilepsy and stroke, and review the adult BLS algorithm.
Trauma & sepsis
Sepsis, trauma and moving patients
The musculoskeletal system gives the body structure, stability and movement. Safe moving and handling protects you and your patient: plan the task, keep a stable base and keep the load close.
Handover
Handover tools and major incidents
Structured handover keeps information clear when you pass a patient on. Triage tools help you prioritise at a major incident.
Extended skills
Extended skills pre-learning
If you are qualifying in an extended skill, complete the matching resource before your course. For Entonox and Penthrox, bring proof of completion on day one.
