Just noticed how does the AO/Paramedic communicate with the Driver of the BRV?
Is there an intercom or something? See picture :)

Does anyone know what qaulifcations members of this group actually hold?
Does the Training Officer hold a Cert IV or Diploma in TAA? If not how can they "train" there VAO's and be actually licenced to perform NEPT duties if a majority of training is not actually recognised? I am deeply concerned as I have seen case cards handed to the Triage nurse with nothing more then the patient's first name!!!! *Shakes head* I am aware they need SAAS EOC approval to activate warning lights / sirens but often witness them driving with them on along Greenhill road and around CBD at times... Rego AEI --- Ambulance 79 or something!
It just amazes me this group is still operating dispite substandard equipment and training for members on all levels - Operational to "Executive" LOL old farts from St Jack days that simply believe there Paramedics and ICPs! (Shudder)

SAAS / SA Paramedical Service - Careerone Advertiser Newspaper

"Patient Transport Officers are working to get people to medical support in any circumstances, regardless of whether they are facing an emergency".

I personally would like medical intervention both non-emergency and emergency from a professionally trained and competent clinician not some person with a Certificate III in Patient Transport.. Specialising in delivering Nanna to her Radiology appointment and home again hahaha!! Keep your eyes peeled for next weeks edition of Careerone... Who knows IMS Ambulance Service could be starring next! Watch this space! ;)

SAAS / Diploma vs Degree
« on: February 08, 2011, 08:55:05 AM »
Hi All,

If someone wanted to apply to become a Paramedic in South Australia but only have a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Paramedical Science what is the likelyhood of them being offered employment with SAAS.

I know both NSW and NT offer student paramedics 3 year Diplomas.

Would they need to apply for Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedic) and be RPL with the Diploma and Advanced Diploma.

Cheers!

SAAS / SAAS Emergency Ambulance - Mines ?
« on: January 06, 2011, 03:10:25 PM »
Hi Guys/Gals,

Can anyone tell me what this vehicle would be used for? My thoughts would be mining or industrial response? It also has maroon LED lights.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Was having a break out the front of RAH today and spotted a mercedes sprinter van Ambulance enter off North Terrace which caught my eye because it was decked out in some hi viz decals which read South Australia Paramedical Services but had NSW numberplates! It drove up to ED and I went over to investiagate but as I got further it just took off LOL - Has anyone else seen it before? Wish I took a picture of ot :P

Also visiting RAH was a silver falcon gt with EMR numberplates.. interior reading lamps on passenger side and pretty sure dash flashers... Not that Workcare SA bloke ?? Sometime lastyear saw the same car going CAT1 down regency road :S

Cheers!

« on: December 23, 2009, 08:05:48 PM »
Hi Guys,

Anyone know when SAAS will be accepting applications for Patient Transfer Officers in 2010? I applied in 2009 but had to withdraw as another employment oppurtunity had arisen at the time, I am still interested in becoming a PTO what is the likelyhood of gaining F/T employment as a PTO?

Any current SAAS employees please do not hesitate to contact me!

Cheers
