Group aims to initiate discussion among international communities

In April, a small group of EMS managers, educators and providers from Australia, Canada, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and the United States gathered in Ottawa, Canada, to discuss the future of EMS.

The Paramedic G5 meeting, organized by Minnesota-based Gary Wingrove and Mike Nolan of Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, ended with the general consensus that the design, delivery and application of systems that use paramedics and other emergency medical providers must become a global expedition in order to meet the current and future needs of the populations they serve.
