An accident at work, a pre-hospital birth, a resuscitation or a traffic accident. The tasks that the students from our vocational schools for emergency paramedics had to master as part of our action day were challenging and varied.
The students practiced numerous emergency scenarios in Stein. They also practiced working together with the fire department and police. The large-scale training day is designed for students in their third year of training and is an important milestone on the way to the upcoming final exam.
12 student teams, each consisting of two to three members, were able to apply their knowledge in a realistic yet protected environment and take away valuable tips thanks to the direct feedback from their teachers. Mimes and medical training dummies made the missions authentic. In total, around 130 students, teachers, practical instructors and rescue workers were involved in almost 100 operations.
Sebastian Habicht, head of the vocational schools for emergency paramedics, was delighted with the students’ great commitment and the cooperation with numerous partners: “The large-scale exercise day is an absolute highlight in the training to become an emergency paramedic. Our students benefit enormously from the high density of challenging scenarios and the cooperation with the fire department and police.”
Aid organizations, including the BRK Stein, the Johanniter Unfallhilfe Schwabach, the SKS Ambulanz and the RKT Rettungsdienst supported the exercise, for example by providing emergency vehicles. The FORUM Stein, the town of Stein and the Stein grammar school provided facilities.
The joint scenarios with the Stein fire department and the Stein police station are valuable for everyone involved. The rescue and treatment of a trapped accident victim was practiced with the fire department, while the focus was on cooperation with the police in a case of domestic violence.
In addition to an advance announcement, the Nürnberger Nachrichten, frankenfernsehen.tv, as well as Bayern 1 and br24.de reported in detail.
Our heartfelt thanks go to all those involved and supporters, without whom this day would not have been possible!
