Staffed by a highly trained Advanced Care Paramedic, the unit will provide critical care interventions, such as advanced airway management, intravenous therapy, and life-saving medications, directly at the scene.
This initiative underscores the commitment of MLPS in delivering innovative emergency medical services and improving healthcare outcomes for the community, aligning with the ongoing goals of the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service Authority Board to foster a culture of positive change and enhance healthcare outcomes for all patients.
