Thanks to the work of Minister Nelson Bascome and the PLP Government Team, paramedic training for Bermuda's EMTs is on the way. Minister Bascome:

We are looking at a programme right now that's coming out of one of the US institutions that would help to train the fire and ambulance and the Police and so it's at its early phase.

It's going to take communication between the three emergency response entities to look at their budgets...

I think that the exciting part about the training is that anyone who is an EMT, anyone who is practising right now, would want to be a part of it.

The new technology and training programme will provide advanced skills to our emergency responders that will impact their ability to provide the best possible emergency care.
