WALES’ ‘flying’ doctors will travel to emergencies in the worlds most advanced vehicles, said Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething.
The Deputy Minister unveiled the high-tech rapid response vehicles and saw them in action during a live exercise at the Ministry of Defence’s Caerwent training facility in Monmouthshire.
Launching in April, Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) Cymru will become the first national pre-hospital service of its kind in the UK.
It has been developed using the latest and best evidence from military and civilian services from across the world.
Deputy Minister Vaughan Gething said: “Our investment in critical care consultants and practitioners means EMRTS Cymru will be one of, if not the most, comprehensively equipped pre-hospital teams in the world in terms of personnel, equipment, blood products, drug, diagnostics and data collection.”
