Emergency response team member

When the need is high, you know how to keep calm
If a disaster or crisis occurs, you, as a member of the Emergency Response Team, along with the ambulance staff and other medical professionals, are ready to provide assistance to those affected.

Together with your Emergency team members, you will take care of setting up the care location, receiving slightly injured victims and performing first aid operations. This leaves the ambulance staff free to attend to the seriously injured patients. This way, everyone involved gets the right help quickly.
