Meet the Logistics Team
At Middlesex London Paramedic Service (MLPS), our dedicated Logistics Team works tirelessly behind the scenes, 24/7, to support our frontline Paramedics who provide top tier pre-hospital care to the communities they serve in.
Logistics Technicians (LT):
The Logistics Technicians routinely inspect, clean and restock vehicles, bags and bins, to have them ready for the next shift of paramedics going out to respond to emergency calls.
They perform routine maintenance on all equipment, such as stair chairs, scoop stretchers, oxygen equipment, suction equipment, and other patient care equipment.
They are such an integral part of operations here at MLPS, not only for the 911 Response System but they provide support behind special events held throughout the year.
Did you know? The LTs ready approx. 1000 trucks every month; that's an amazing 12,000 trucks per year!
Logistics Officers:
Working alongside the Logistics Technicians (LTs), the Logistics Officers take care of everything vehicle-related, from vehicle set up and customization, preventative maintenance and repairs to overseeing the decommissioning of vehicles. In accordance with Ministry of Health, Ministry of Transportation and manufacturers' requirements, the Logistics Officers maintain, repair, and test equipment. The Logistics Officers also address facility maintenance and repairs at all MLPS stations.
Did you know? Over 2000 assets inspections are completed and documented annually!
Inventory Purchasing Officer
The Inventory Purchasing Officer manages the inventory ordering process and ensures stock levels are maintained. The Purchaser also conducts periodic audits on our inventory items to ensure all expiry dates are pulled in accordance to MOH and Service standards.
Logistics Administrative Assistant
The Logistics Administrative Assistant maintains database records including PPE sizing for each paramedic, uniform sizing and issuing, office supply orders and entry of assets in our tracking system. Administration also reconciles all expenses and ensures all invoices are paid accurately and on time.
