Medical Emergency Protocol Template
A participant-specific medical emergency protocol template for participants who receive high intensity supports. It is completed for each participant, kept at the point of care, and reviewed with workers at induction and each competency review.
What is inside:
- Participant details, the delegating health practitioner and AHPRA number, and review dates
- Emergency contacts, from 000 and the GP to the guardian and organisation on-call
- Known medical conditions, signs to watch for and immediate actions
- General response steps for cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, respiratory distress, seizure, choking and hypoglycaemia
- Participant-specific protocols for conditions such as autonomic dysreflexia or PEG tube dislodgement
- Emergency medications, with dose, route and who may administer
- Post-emergency actions, including incident reporting, debriefs and review within 48 hours
- Worker acknowledgement
Good to know: workers may only give the emergency medications listed if they hold current training and written health practitioner delegation is on file. Update the protocol whenever the participant's health status changes.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
- Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
