ABSTRACT

Management of emergencies is an integral part of primary care. However, the wide range of symptoms and the rarity of the situations make it difficult for primary care workers to be continually updated and competent in providing life support. In Ljubljana Community Health Centre, we use innovative approaches and modern teaching techniques to educate primary health care teams on how to manage medical emergencies.

The three-level educational approach described here enables comprehensive education in managing and recognising dangerous medical situations. It also provides a safe way of learning how to manage difficult, uncommon and serious clinical situations.

This comprehensive educational approach is oriented towards continuous improvement in quality and the safety of patients at the primary health care level.
