Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the 2018 Year in Review for the Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice (DCEHPP), Monash University. This review provides a summary of key activities in education, research, and engagement with our community and industry partners throughout the past 12 months. Our focus continues to build on our past successes and foundations working closely with our partners locally and internationally, aiming to create and demonstrate excellence in teaching, research and scholarship.

Once again 2018 has been another very successful year for the Department. Some of our key achievements include:

• Teaching satisfaction and outcomes across all teaching areas have improved.

• Peer-reviewed publications reached over 100 this year (a new record for us).

• Our Bachelor of Paramedicine was formally accredited till 2024.

• PhD student enrolments now sit at 26 (again, a record for us) coming from seven different countries.

• Our international involvement in research and educational projects grows from strength to strength including countries including Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, United States, Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

• Official launch of the inaugural DCEHPP/ANZCP Research Symposium and National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians short courses held at Peninsula Campus in July.

A number of personal awards and achievements have also been achieved throughout the year. Congratulations to everyone involved in making 2018 a success and contributing to DCEHPP being one of the world’s best paramedic university departments.

I hope you enjoy reviewing the DCEHPP 2018 Year in Review, and we look forward working with you again in 2019.

Professor Brett WilliamsPhD, FPAHead, DCEHPP

CONTENTS


EMS ASIA: DEVELOPING COMPETENCY STANDARDS FOR ASIA

2018 was an important and significant year for EMS Asia and the development of new Asia-specific competency standards. Professor Brett Williams attended three meetings in 2018 in Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia providing leadership in the development of competency standards, and workshops on assessment and measurement of competencies.

EXTRICATION SIMULATION CAR

We are looking forward to the arrival of the DCEHPP Extrication Simulation Car in 2019, which has been funded by an equipment grant from the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. The Extrication Simulation Car has been designed by paramedic Lecturer Brian Haskins and is currently been constructed from a Holden Falcon Wagon which was generously donated by the RACV Group.

Once finished the Extrication Simulation Car will allow our undergraduate paramedics students and participants on our PHTLS courses to remove all four doors, both the A and B pillars, the front windshield and the roof. This will enable the practice the various extrication techniques that are utilised when the ‘Jaws of Life’ are required to gain access to a patient.

DCEHPP PLANNING DAY 2019

In November 2018, DCEHPP hosted its second Research Planning Day. Working closely with clinical and research partners, the aim of the day was to identify key areas of future research; discuss current research training programs at DCEHPP; establish future research questions for targeted student/staff projects; build on collaborations, partnerships and teams; identify funding opportunities to complete research; and continue to strengthen the quality of research in the paramedic environment.

This year we were thrilled to include key personnel from Ambulance Victoria, Safer Care Victoria, Peninsula Health and numerous Schools and Departments within Monash University. Through strong collaborative discussions, the attendees have helped to develop a research prospectus that will serve the profession going forward. Maintaining our research themes of improving paramedic wellbeing, enhancing paramedic education and advancing paramedic practice, we have seen the need to include an additional theme focusing on expanding the prehospital health service. We feel this model will allow DCEHPP to align closely with future funding opportunities through the Australian Research Council (ARC), the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Medical Research Futures Fund (MRFF).

4TH JUST/DCEHPP INTERNATIONAL PARAMEDIC CONFERENCE

DCEHPP was again a co-host of the 4th JUST Paramedic International Conference with the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST).

This year’s conference was focused on the changes and challenges faced by paramedicine around the world; conference speakers included our very own Ahmad Alrawashdeh who presented his PhD systematic and meta-analyses as well as other speakers from Taiwan (our alumni Jack Chang) and many other speakers from Jordan and Saudi Arabia. A number of workshops were also held on publication tips and tricks and poster presentations by JUST paramedic students. We are privileged that Monash University through DCEHPP is a co-sponsor of this conference and equally proud in our longstanding relationships with JUST. Plans for next year’s conference are already underway for early November 2019.

DCEHPP AWARDS

2018 was again very successful for a number of DCEHPP staff. Dr Simon Sawyer won the best oral presentation at the Monash University / ANZCP Research Symposium for this work on family violence. This prize also included funding for $3000 to attend the EMS Expo Conference in the US. Simon’s work at this conference also won the best international poster presentation, emphasising the excellent work undertaken by Simon during and beyond his PhD. Simon was also a recipient of the prestigious Vice Chancellor Award for Teaching Excellence (Early Career). This award was given based on sustained teaching excellence, and integration of research into teaching and a testament to Simon’s teaching passion.

Craig Taylor was another award winner in 2018. Craig was awarded the Monash Student Association Award for Teaching Excellence for 2018. This award (nominated by students) was won by Craig for the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and is a testament to Craig’s teaching ability, enthusiasm and general welfare for students and their learning.

Dr Ziad Nehme continues his scholarship excellence with success on a number of awards in 2018; these included: Dr David Komesaroff Award, Ambulance Victoria, Public Health/Clinical Research Best Paper Award, Alfred Medical Research and Education Precinct, 2018, Doctoral Thesis Excellence Award, School of Public Health & Preventive Medicine, Monash University, 2018. Alan Batt one our current PhD students was successful in receiving a $1500 scholarship to attend the Introduction to Education Research in the Health Professions and Sciences offered by the Monash Centre for Scholarship in Health Education.

FAMILY VIOLENCE

Family violence is a leading contributor to death and illness for young Australian women. Paramedics are likely to encounter patients experiencing family violence, and their response may be pivotal in the early recognition and referral of patients to the right support to help end the violence and abuse. Many paramedics report minimal education and training in responding to family violence, and there is virtually no skills based education provided for most students or practitioners. DCEHPP has lead the way for paramedicine by introducing comprehensive family violence education and training for students.

In 2018 the first skills based education session was held, where 2nd year students were taught skills in talking to patients about family violence by expert trainers from the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria. This training saw students practicing their approach with trained actors portraying family violence patients, and allowed students to benefit from expert feedback to help shape and perfect their approach. This education session saw a significant increase in self-reported readiness by the students, and students who took part in the session performed better on a simulated patient encounter than 3rd year students who had not been trained. This indicates that the education session was effective and our next generation of paramedics will be better prepared to recognise the potential for family violence and help support patients to access the right care to help reduce family violence and abuse.

DR RIC (FREDRIC) BOUVIER HONOURS SCHOLARSHIPS

Ric was an icon in the evolution of ambulance services and the paramedic as a professional in Australia. Apart from his engagement and support of his community in the Latrobe Valley where he lived and practised most of his professional life, he was the co-initiator of the Latrobe Valley Ambulance Service, member of its committee for over 25 years and was President of Victorian Ambulance Services Association (VASA) for 25 years. In addition, Ric helped establish the Ambulance Officer School at Geelong in 1961.

Without the leadership of people like Ric, paramedic education and scholarship would not be possible to the standard that it is today in Victoria, Australia. Given the recent passing of Ric in 2107, and because of his leadership it is now appropriate to name an Honours Scholarship after him. In 2017, Melanie Jurgens and Rob Sanders were awarded Scholarships to complete their Honours degrees, with both students being awarded First Class Honours at the end of 2018. Melanie investigated the perceptions of paramedics who recently completed a paramedic graduate year program and Rob delved into student’s perception of what the paramedic job is, and what types of cases they will most frequently attend.

Through the generous support of Ric’s family, the next era of paramedics are be given a great opportunity to continue Ric’s legacy and build strong foundations for the future direction of research in paramedicine. In 2018, Alejandro Jose and Belinda Delardes were awarded scholarship. Alejandro completed his Honours at the end of 2018 with a First Class award for his work investigating the predictive properties of prehospital stress induced hyperglycaemia in identifying trauma patient outcomes. Belinda will complete her project in 2019 as she determines the details required in an electronic handover from paramedics to General Practitioners in non-transported patients. DCEHPP were thrill to have Sally, Julie and Russel represent the Bouvier family in October 2018 and celebrate the success of these students.

PARAMEDICINE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

The Inaugural DCEHPP/ANZCP Paramedicine Research Symposium was held at Peninsula Campus in July 2018. After signing a memorandum of understanding for the next 3 years, this conference saw ANZCP and DCEHPP align their goal to provide a premier research symposium, attracting key researchers from Australia and internationally. The two day symposium was attended by approximately 50 delegates from a diverse range of countries and a large number of different academic institutions. The symposiums included workshops with Hugh Kearns, openings from AV CEO Tony Walker, Prof David Copolov (Pro-Vice Chancellor Major Campuses and Student Engagement) and Prof Terry Haines (Head of the School of Primary and Allied Health Care).

With research skills sessions presented on Day 1, Day 2 was filled with oral presentations focusing on a range of themes including the Health and Wellbeing of our paramedics, the development of the paramedic profession and early interventions and measurement. Numerous awards were given out at the end of Day 2, with Dr Simon Sawyer awarded the Best Research Presentation, which included sponsorship to present his work at EMS World Expo in Nashville. The Symposium will be held at Peninsula Campus again in November 2019, were we aim to grow on our inaugural year successes.

INDO-PACIFIC COLLABORATIVE HEALTH IMMERSION PROGRAM 2018

This year seven our 2nd year paramedic students participated in the Indo-Pacific Collaborative Immersion Program. This program offers students health immersion opportunities in Vietnam or Cambodia in interprofessional small groups with other Monash students from Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing/Midwifery and Medicine. The students were sponsored through the New Colombo Plan Funding and/or Monash Abroad Scholarships.

Four of our paramedic students travelled to Ho Chi Ming in Vietnam. They first completed an orientation week with our in country partner Scope Global, where they learnt basic language skills, attended presentations and visited their local host hospitals. The host hospitals were the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, HCMC Oncology Hospital, HCMC Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Hospital and Cho Ray Hospital. For the next three weeks the students attended their assigned hospitals in their interprofessional groups for 4 days a week to experience the Vietnamese healthcare system.

The other three paramedic students travelled to Phnom Penh in Cambodia. They too completed an orientation week with Scope Global, which included basic language skills, health related presentations, a visit to a Traditional Medical Clinic and the community host organisations. The community host organisation in Phnom Penh were, Cambodia Physical Therapy Association, KHANA, The Transcultural Psychosocial Organization, Veterans International and the Asian Injury Prevention Foundation. In the second week the students attended the ‘18th National Physical Therapy Congress’, before starting their community placements with their assigned host organisations in small interprofessional groups.

All the students had to complete a case study and keep a clinical logbook detailing their experiences but both the Vietnam and Cambodia groups had plenty of free days to experience daily life on their days off.

RESTART A HEART DAY – 16TH OCTOBER 2018

This year paramedic lecturer Brian Haskins and his team of DCEHPP staff and paramedic students once again participated in Restart a Heart Day on October the 16th. The team taught members of the general public bystander CPR and AED use at six sites including the Bayside Shopping Centre, Peninsula and Clayton Campuses, the Sorrento-Queenscliff Ferry, the Frankston Pier and all the way across to the bay to Swan Bay Caravan Park, where Brian gave a presentation on the importance of bystander CPR and AED use. In total over 150 people were taught bystander CPR and AED use and their role in the chain of survival.

In 2019 more ‘bystander CPR and AED use training sessions’, facilitated by our paramedic students are been planned for local sports organisations and schools. This training will not only benefit the local community but will also benefit our paramedic students by allowing them to develop their communication and teaching skills, while gaining an appreciation of the importance of paramedic-led public health education.

To facilitate this training we were delighted to receive a donation of four specialised Brayden CPR manikins from Heart Wings / Defibs-R-US and a grant from the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Major Campuses and Student Engagement), which allowed the purchase of an additional six specialised Brayden CPR manikins and 10 AED trainers. We were also delighted to receive a donation of five ‘out of service’ defibs from Bayside Shopping Centre. These defibrillators will be serviced and re-donated to local organisations who can organise 100 + members to attend ‘bystander CPR and AED use training sessions’ facilitated by our paramedic students.

Remember for a person to survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest they need to have all the links of the chain of survival in place which are:

1. Recognise someone is in cardiac arrest

2. Call 000

3. Push hard and fast on their chest (120/min - think ‘Baby Shark’)

4. Get a public access AED (the earlier a person is defibrillated the better their chance of survival)

5. Keep going until paramedics arrive

2018 NEAR PEER TUTOR REVIEW

2018 saw the expansion of the Near Peer Tutor program to include 2nd year paramedic students along with our usual intake of 3rd years. The 2nd year Near Peer Tutors assisted our Ambulance Victoria Paramedic tutors teach basic assessment and clinical skills to our 1st year paramedic students, while our 3rd years assisted in both 1st and 2nd year units. This year through the leadership of Eileen Barry we introduced a new Moodle site which allowed our Near Peer Tutors to access learning and teaching resources for each unit and an online scheduling system. In 2018, our 61 Near Peer Tutors volunteered a total of 2904 hours of their time to help their fellow students learn clinical assessment and treatment skills.

We were delighted to continue our partnership with Monash Training and Professional Development, enabling us to offer our Near Peer Tutors the opportunity to complete modules of the BSB42015 Certificate IV in Leadership and Management. This valuable industry recognised qualification acknowledges the effort and commitment that of our Near Peer Tutors show over the year.

The feedback from our Unit Coordinators, Ambulance Victoria Paramedic Tutors and our 1st and 2nd year paramedic students has been very positive regarding the input of our Near Peer Tutors. The Near Peer Tutors benefit too, by obtaining valuable tutoring experience while maintaining their own clinical competency levels and improving their communication skills.

We look forward to next year, when our current 2nd year Near Peer Tutors will be available to mentor the new intake of Near Peer Tutors for 2019.

PARAMEDICS UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARS USING EVIDENCE (PURSUE)

In late 2018, DCEHPP introduced the PURSUE program, with the aim of providing a structured program to increase undergraduate student exposure to research and offer an opportunity for active research participation during students’ undergraduate years.

Previously, DCEHPP had offered Summer Scholarship places to undergraduate students to allow them to have a hands-on experience with research projects. As 2018 saw a change in student placement structures, the inclusion of block placements made it difficult for students to commit to these Scholarship programs. Therefore PURSUE became available to all undergraduates students, where in addition to completing research projects, the program provides an opportunity for students with research interests to meet on a monthly basis to share ideas and build their research skills.

An initial project that students were involved in was an analysis of neck movement during spinal immobilisation. This project led by Brian Haskins and Paul Toll, saw student’s measure neck motion whilst completing a number of immobilisation protocols. At the same time, students also measured lower back movement in the treating clinicians. The ViMove system that the students used has never been applied in this way before, and the students gained skills in trouble shooting during testing and adapting current procedures to suit their needs. This research is just the first example of how PURSUE will provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to gain a firsthand experience of research processes.


DCEHPP VISIT TO THE USA

In early February Dr Cameron Gosling and Mr Matthew Stewart travelled to the US, visiting Los Angeles and Minneapolis/St Paul area of Minnesota. The first stop on the trip saw us visiting the Paramedic program at UCLA where we witnessed intense debate between students during an ethics class.

During the UCLA visit we got to witness the delivery of both the face to face education model and their partially online hybrid mode. Following a pleasantly warm visit to LA, we travelled onwards to our ultimate destination of Minnesota where we were greeted by a -21 °C day and a city blanketed in snow. Kindly invited and hosted by Zoll and Dr Keith Lurie we attended the Hennepin County Medical Center resuscitation laboratory to witness their current research utilising a porcine model of cardiac arrest.

The ultimate goal of our travels was to attend a weekend conference in EMS education research hosted by FISDAP. This conference saw us working with paramedic educators from the USA, Canada, Japan, Ecuador, Columbia and ourselves from Australia. This conference represented a great chance for DCEHPP to network with paramedic educators and researchers around the world. The research summit, which involved group analysis of data generated by thousands of students, will result in numerous conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.

Another goal of our trip to Minnesota was the chance to forge relationships with local ambulance service providers and open up the possibility of cultural exchange trip for undergraduate paramedic students from Monash University. During our week in Minnesota, North Memorial Ambulance, Health East Ambulance, Allina Health Emergency Medical Services, Woodbury Public Safety, St Paul Fire Department, Hennepin County Medical Center, Burnsville Fire Department and Maplewood Fire Department hosted our visit.

Our trip has opened up the networks for educational and research collaborations with US paramedic services and educators. It has also provided Monash paramedic students with potential cultural exchange opportunities to learn from emergency service models that are very different from the experience they gain through clinical placements in Victoria. Many thanks to the Department, School and Faculty for their support in making this trip possible.

DCEHPP THE ONLY AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY APPROVED TO TEACH NAEMT COURSES

DCEHPP were recently approved by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) US as a training site to teach the following course nationally and internationally; a first for any Australian university.

The courses include:

• Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)

• Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS)

• Geriatric Education for EMS (GEMS)

The first of these courses were offered in July supporting our Research Symposium held at Peninsula Campus. These courses while originally developed for paramedics, now include and accept other professions and first responders such as: medicine, nursing, firefighters and lifeguards. A PHTLS course was offered to all 2nd and 3rd year Monash University paramedic students in September with great success. We anticipate to offer these programs throughout 2019.


NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DCEHPP AND THE AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND COLLEGE OF PARAMEDICINE

We are very pleased to announce a three year partnership between Monash University, through the Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice, and the Australian & New Zealand College of Paramedicine. This partnership recently lead to the inaugural Paramedicine Research Symposium, which was held on 5th & 6th July 2018 at Monash Peninsula Campus. The symposium is a showcase for paramedicine research and opportunities for research training, and will be run annually in the future.

LAUNCH OF TAIWAN SOCIETY OF PARAMEDICINE (TSP)

DCEHPP was honoured to provide the opening address (Professor Brett Williams, and Assoc Professor Ian Patrick) for the inaugural meeting of the Taiwan Society of Paramedicine (TSP) held at the Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Taipei.

This meeting was a significant milestone for paramedicine in Taiwan as it develops itself as a profession and legitimacy as an emergency and health care provider. The meeting was attended and supported by the key medical personnel from around Taiwan, including the incoming Chair of EMS Asia Dr Matthew Ma. Congratulations to the new committee to Dr Tsai (President) and Jack Chang (Secretary).

WELCOME: PROFESSOR PETER O’MEARA TO DCEHPP

DCEHPP is honoured to have Professor Peter O’Meara join DCEHPP as an Adjunct staff member. In addition to being an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Community Emergency Health & Paramedic Practice, Peter is the Acting Chief Executive Officer of MobileCE and a Director of the Global Higher Paramedic Education Council based in the United States. He was the first paramedic in the world to complete a doctoral qualification researching rural paramedicine and as a result his research has focused on the delivery of paramedic services in rural settings.

A specific focus in recent years has been in the evolution of community paramedicine, while he has also undertaken research related to volunteer ambulance systems. He has published extensively on these and other paramedicine-related topics and has recently accepted an invitation to speak at the National Association of EMS Physicians Meeting in Austin, Texas, USA in January 2019 on the topic of Sustainable Volunteer EMS [Emergency Medical Services]. His research has contributed toward the emergence of paramedicine as a health profession in Australia and other parts of the world. Peter has published one book, ten book chapters, over 70 peer-reviewed papers and several other publications. He is currently a member of the Expert Panel of the Australian Prehospital Care Quality Indicator Project (ASPIRE).

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

2018 was another busy year hosting a number of international delegates from all around the world. Throughout 2018 DCEHPP hosted leaders from the following countries: Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Scotland, Malaysia and United States.

SALVATION ARMY VOLUNTEERING PROJECT

We were pleased to run a pilot project with The Salvation Army in Melbourne during semester two this year. This project involved around 50 of our 2nd year paramedic students volunteering (up to 40 hours) with the Youth Street Teams arranged by The Salvation Army in Melbourne during weekends from 11pm to 5am. The aim of the project was to provide students with an opportunity to interact with community members - particularly the vulnerable, disadvantaged and homeless.

Data are currently being collected on students, workers and clients on their perceptions, attitudes of empathy, listening and dealing with homeless victims. We anticipate that this type of volunteering will continue more formally in 2019.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION BY MONASH PARAMEDIC STUDENTS

Monash paramedic students from DCEHPP taught hands-only CPR and the use of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to both players, coaches and parents at the Glen Eira Football Club, Family Gala Day on Saturday the 18th of August.

Demonstrations of hands-only CPR and AED use were presented by the paramedic students throughout the day. DCEHPP Paramedic Lecturer Brian Haskins explained how important the chain of survival is and how bystanders need to act quickly, by recognising a cardiac arrest, calling 000, starting CPR and defibrillating the patient.

The paramedic students taught over 100 players and their family’s hands only CPR and AED use. We were delighted that the Mayor of Glen Eira, Tony Athanasopoulos and State Member for Oakleigh, Steve Dimopoulos dropped by to show us their hands on approach!

Thank you Glen Eira Football Club for inviting our Paramedic DCEHPP students to their Family Gala Day to teach bystander CPR and AED use.

RAMADAN IFTAR 2018

DCEHPP was again proud to host the second Ramadan Iftar celebration for our staff and Middle Eastern PhD students. Staff, industry representatives from Ambulance Victoria and our current Middle Eastern PhD students celebrated our 2nd Ramadan Iftar at Peninsula Campus. A range of Middle Eastern food was prepared in celebration and acknowledgment to our students and staff who had fasted throughout the day. We were also very pleased to be joined by Professor David Copolov (Pro Vice Chancellor, Major Campuses and Student Engagement), Mr Terry Marshall (Ambulance Victoria) and Professor Terry Haines (Head, School of Primary and Allied Health Care).

FERNOSIM CHALLENGE

On the 28th of September Josh, Kristen, Thomas and Paige participated in the Fernosim challenge at the 2018 Student Paramedic Australasian International Conference (SPIAC). The challenge was held at Flinders University in Adelaide and included 13 university teams competing from all over Australasia. Needless to say, we were all extremely excited whilst simultaneously anxious to be participating in such a large event. The challenge itself was a mass casualty scenario that was set at a house party that had ‘gone wrong’. We were all feeling the pressure and our hearts were beating fast throughout.

The scene required us to demonstrate outstanding teamwork and communication in order to treat all patients and manage the scene successfully. We had an amazing time being involved in the Fernosim challenge and met some incredible people. The SPAIC also allowed us to attend multiple conferences that extended our knowledge and also gave us a look into the future of this evolving profession. The lessons and experiences that we have gained will no doubt contribute to the way we endeavour through our careers as paramedics. We cannot thank those that were involved enough and would highly recommend anyone to get involved if the opportunity presents itself.

EMR REPORT

2018 saw the Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practices’ EMR team provide training in the Emergency Medical Response (EMR) programs to the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and Country Fire Authority. The Monash team has conducted five (5), EMR Victorian Recruit Firefighter Courses (VRFC), at the Victorian Emergency Management Training Complex (VEMTC) in Craigieburn. Monash will continue to provide contracted EMR training to the state fire services in 2019.

EMR training for 2018 saw firefighter first responders receive recertification training in the following skill sets. Forty eight courses in advanced first aid and EMR response. EMR first responder retention programs (5), and the annual recertification of MFB corporate staff in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator. Approximately 700 personnel have successfully completed scheduled training courses.

The Emergency Medical Responder program provides early intervention within the community and responds to over 7000 calls per year. The importance of early CPR and defibrillation in a cardiac arrest event and the role the first responder plays within the community can be highlighted with the 300 lives saved since the program was initiated. The MFB celebrated the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the EMR first responder role this year with an official function held at MFB Burnley complex.

MFB officials, staff, and invited speakers attended a formal cake cutting ceremony. Several cardiac arrest survivors told their stories at the event and this really highlighted the great value that the program provides to the wider community. The Monash training team was cited by several speakers for its outstanding contribution to the success of the program since its inception. MFB staff, survivors and other guests also held 300 red balloons aloft forming a heart shaped tribute to the survivors at the conclusion of the celebrations.

2018 has seen key staff changes in the Monash instructional team; Lisa Sarris who has been with the EMR contract for a ten year period has been employed as a clinical educator in mental health and wellbeing with the MFB. Lisa is continuing to assist the team in a sessional teaching capacity and a new principle instructor has joined the team. Jessica Molhuysen has come to the program with a nursing and paramedic background, including several years working with the London Ambulance Service in the U.K. prior to returning to Melbourne.

The DCEHPP-Monash EMR team has continued its partnership with the EMR Program throughout 2018, by providing interactive, practical and contemporary education and training that will support the EMR program into the future. The expansion state wide of the career firefighter EMR first responder system has been completed this year and its future impact on the survival rates across Victoria will be closely monitored.

Celebrating 20 years of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Emergency Medical Response Program.
