The Flight Physiology for Aeromedical Transport Course aims to provide healthcare professionals with a structured understanding of the physiological, environmental, and human factors considerations that underpin the safe and effective conduct of aeromedical transport, whether as an entry-level foundation or a professional refresher.

• Explain the fundamental physiological effects of flight on the human body and their implications for aeromedical transport.

• Describe the impact of environmental stressors—including pressure change, hypoxia, vibration, noise, and acceleration—on patient care and crew performance.

• Recognise the operational, physiological, and human factors that influence safety, performance, and patient outcomes in the aeromedical environment.

• Apply physiological and human factors knowledge to analyse, prevent, or mitigate risks associated with flight and aeromedical operations.

This course is designed for healthcare professionals involved in, or preparing to engage with, aeromedical transport and retrieval operations. It is particularly relevant for:

• Flight nurses and flight paramedics commencing or consolidating their aeromedical practice;

• Medical practitioners (general practitioners, emergency physicians, registrars, and retrieval consultants) seeking an introductory understanding of flight physiology that guides aeromedical decision-making;

• Aeromedical coordinators, dispatchers, and operations personnel who support mission planning and patient movement;

• Health administrators, policy makers, and educators involved in aeromedical governance, systems design, or clinical training.

Two delivery options are available:

• Online Mode (4-week format) – asynchronous e-learning modules supported by live lectures, fortnightly Q&A sessions with subject matter experts, and formative quizzes.
