Paramedic Services Week is May 23-29, 2021

Paramedic Services Week: May 23 – 29, 2021

TAC wishes to recognize all our members who are paramedics and paramedics in Canada. The theme for Paramedic Services Week 2021 is Paramedic as Educator – Citizen Ready and demonstrates the important role that paramedics play as educators to the public. The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada has prepared a number of tools and videos to acknowledge the vital role paramedics play in Canada’s pre-hospital care system.

As healthcare professionals, paramedics are often incorporating the best research into practice but the public doesn’t always know why. In efforts to help the public understand why simple steps taken CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE in many emergencies prior to help arriving, the PCC looks to build on existing education and incorporating new trending treatments for the public to be CITIZEN READY.

The first day of Paramedic Services Week is Sunday, May 23rd, the public education component begins Monday, May 24th and wraps up on Saturday May 29th. Each of the first five days has a specific public education focus that is designed to prepare citizens for an emergency and day six is an opportunity for the public to get to know their local paramedics and emergency medical responders through recognition initiatives.

Monday – Activation of 911
Tuesday – Control the Bleeding
Wednesday – High Performance CPR
Thursday – Opioid Overdoses
Friday – Emergency Preparedness (the first 72 hours)
Saturday – Paramedic Services Recognition Day

The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada welcome you to use any or all of the packages that have been developed for this special week. Each theme package contains key messages, suggested teaching strategies, and recommended audiences/venues.
