Basic ambulance care course

The MRCS Penang Branch and the Emergency Dept of Hospital Pulau Pinang are jointly running a Basic Ambulance Care Course for RC members as well as some members from the St. John’s Ambulance and volunteer fire corps from Penang and Butterworth. The participants already have knowledge of basic first aid. They learned to recognise and handle the common trauma and medical problems encountered by ambulance crews, use ambulance equipment and the day-to-day running of an ambulance service. Thanks, Dr. Teo and his team from the Emergency Department of Hospital Pulau Pinang
