He has now completed his additional training as an emergency paramedic with distinction. The educator, who teaches at the HAK in Rohrbach, among other places, had about a year for the almost 500 hours of training. “For the award, you certainly needed a bit of luck with the questions you drew,” he admits modestly, “but I’m looking forward to putting what I’ve learned into practice.” The additional knowledge he has acquired benefits him and patients during emergency medical operations as well as in “normal” rescue services. “Emergency paramedics are just as important in ambulances as they are in the NEF (emergency doctor vehicle, note), especially when it comes to bridging the time until the arrival of the emergency doctor,” says Reinhold Stelzer, the manager at the NEF Rohrbach site other colleagues: “With more than 30 trained emergency paramedics, these are professional and voluntary employees, we are in a very good position in the district. Another eight are in training.”
