***EMS Safety Foundation 2009 RETTmobil Delegation***

The EMS Safety Foundation 2009 Rettmobil Delegation of the Innovation Consortium, Technical Expert Panel and Advisory Board are now back from their expedition. The 32 person Delegation was the largest North American (and yes, Australian and New Zealand) Delegation to participate in Rettmobil. A special workshop and a number of Webinars were held for the EMS Safety Foundation delegates in addition to the scheduled Rettmobil events.

Please do take a look at Wayne Zygowicz's fabulous JEMS blog on the 2009 EMS Safety Foundation Rettmobil Delegation -

...."This journey was about discovery, information sharing and knowledge transfer. There were many things I found at RETTmobile that could benefit first responders back here in the states. Various innovations I observed made it seems like the Europeans were more mechanically and technically advanced than their peers here in the US. Their vehicles were fast, safe and fuel efficient. Their rescue clothing is light, durable and high visibility. Their cots were crash tests, rated to 10Gs and never had to be manually lifted in or out of the ambulance. The fire apparatus was compact, maneuverable and well engineered while other equipment was compartmentalized, quickly deployed, and never had to be lifted. Everything was designed with safety in mind and much of it required by law. ... more
