A study trip on the topic of “Strengthening the capacity of emergency medical training” brought a delegation from Moldova to us. Its primary objective was to explore best practices in the training of emergency medical personnel and to gain impetus for structured training programs for emergency medical personnel in Moldova.
At the end of June, we welcomed a Moldovan delegation with representatives from the Ministry of Health, the administration of the National Center for Preclinical Emergency Medicine (CNAMUP), the Emergency Medicine Training Center and the National Emergency Call Center. The study trip on the topic of “Strengthening the capacity of emergency medical training” was requested via the Moldovan Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Health.
The visit began with an official welcome from the Federal Ministry of Health, our Chairman of the Board Klaus Meyer and our international projects team. A special highlight for the delegation was the participation in the large-scale training day of our vocational schools for emergency paramedics. This gave them the opportunity to experience realistic scenarios, including a birth, a traffic accident and a domestic violence situation involving the police.
The insights into the high-quality and practical training met with great interest from our guests and left a lasting impression.
The second day of the delegation’s visit was all about practical training. Using the example of an ALS (Advanced Life Support) course at the ERC, in which students from our vocational schools for emergency paramedics took part, key elements of the training were demonstrated. Our Moldovan partners took the opportunity to talk to our deputy principal about special didactic features and exchange experiences from everyday training.
This was followed in the afternoon by a visit to the ILS Nuremberg, where the processes and structures of emergency call dispatching in Bavaria were explained in detail. The delegation then visited the modern Nuremberg fire station.
Finally, we presented our bildung37° simulation center, where our students and course participants train under realistic conditions.
To kick off the final day, our colleagues from FÜRTH SCHOCKT! gave inspiring insights into the project. The establishment of local structures that enable a rapid response in the event of sudden cardiac death was met with great interest by the delegation. Afterwards, the program at the Bavarian Red Cross Erlangen-Höchstadt included an analysis of relevant statistics and a tour of various ambulances. Our guests received comprehensive information on the equipment of the vehicles and emergency backpacks.
A visit to Fürth Hospital provided an insight into the processes of the emergency department, followed by an exciting tour of the department.
The event concluded with a visit to the Bavarian Association for Rescue Services and Fire Brigade Alerting, where important legal aspects of emergency care were explained in an understandable way.
It was a great pleasure for us to give our guests a comprehensive insight into our work and the acute and emergency medical structures in Germany. Many thanks to our partners who helped shape the program!
