Last call about 50 mins outside of the city in a rural community! The ambulances are highly capable with adapting to the terrain and dirt roads and the drivers area knowledge beats any GPS system! Thanks to the teams who allowed @TaniaOzCan @HmCorprisk and myself to join this evening! Great insight into the current practice and care provided! 🙏 #EMSglobal

This morning 70 participants made of ambulance doctors, assistants and student nurses undertook an MCI exercise, pulling together the weeks concepts of communication and teamwork! Our scene setup was beautifully choreographed by #paramedics @MelindaDollyMcp, Jarrod, Chris and @JamesStubley! Great way to end week one, but none of the would be possible without the support of our partners! @WHO @AusForeign @Griffith_Uni #emsglobal ems-global.com
