Paramedic Training – Drug Awareness Courses
The Narcaid ECODA Unit is an international learning centre dedicated to the paramedic training of ambulance crews and other emergency care practitioners in the recognition and management of drug related incidents.
It provides specialised drug awareness training designed to familiarise paramedics with essential information about licit, illicit and pharmaceutical presentations common to the emergency pre-hospital environment.
The paramedic drugs awareness training is delivered in two complementary formats:
Paramedic Distance Learning Courses
The distance learning curriculum makes use of real-life case study and e-tutoring
support, delivered by substance misuse specialists. The successful completion
of each course leads to a certificate of continuing professional development,
accredited by the British
Paramedic Association and approved by the Royal
College of Nursing (RCN).

The service offered by the Narcaid ECODA Unit is designed for professional ambulance personnel and other emergency care practitioners. Our training programmes are designed to teach drug awareness (rather than medical skills) to inform clinical judgment. Individual clinical judgment must be exercised in each presentation according to pre-existing training.
